Hartshorne council approves 1120 drainage proposal for City Hall after debate over in-house vs. professional work
Summary
After discussion over whether city crews or a contractor should handle drainage, council approved soliciting bids and accepted a 1120 Drainage proposal (one councilmember voted no). Roberts urged hiring a professional, while Spears suggested in-house work; motion to approve the 1120 proposal passed by roll call.
Council debated a drainage issue for City Hall on Aug. 19 and ultimately approved soliciting bids and accepting a 1120 Drainage proposal.
Councilmember Mark Roberts said the work required a professional who knows what they are doing, while Councilmember David Spears suggested city crews could handle the work. Mayor Ashley Faulkner asked whether the work should be specified and bid out. The council moved to obtain a bid from Infrastructure, and later voted to approve the 1120 Drainage proposal; the roll call shows one 'no' vote from David Spears and the motion passed.
The minutes record the selected course of action and the approval of the 1120 proposal but do not include detailed scope documents or contract terms in the meeting text. The administrative office is expected to proceed with contracting and bidding steps as directed by the council.
