Parks seek Timbertown repairs and hire seasonal maintenance staff
Summary
A single $18,000 bid was received to repair Timbertown at Watkins Park; Manager Faulkner asked the bidder to split the quote into two bids and said the matter will go to Parks and Rec. The committee also discussed an open seasonal maintenance position (workers' comp, no benefits).
Manager Faulkner told the committee that only one proposal for Timbertown repairs at Watkins Park was received for $18,000; roughly half the estimate is for staining wood. He asked the proposer to break the work into two bids (staining vs. wood replacement and repairs) so Parks and Rec can evaluate options.
Faulkner also announced an open seasonal maintenance position for landscaping, trash and public-space upkeep; the position offers workers' compensation but no benefits, and one applicant is the son of a staff member. The committee did not vote on contract awards or make a hiring decision at the meeting.
