Council awards cemetery mowing contract to S&B after debate over prior damage
Summary
Three bids were considered for cemetery mowing (S&B $950, Reeves $1,600, Vance $1,800). After concerns about past damage by S&B and uncertainty about Reeves' cemetery experience, the council moved to meet with S&B and ultimately voted to hire S&B.
Amy Tucker presented three bids to mow the city cemetery: S&B at $950, Reeves at $1,600 and Vance at $1,800. Council members noted that S&B and Vance previously provided mowing services, while Reeves' prior cemetery experience was unclear. Allan Adelman highlighted the significant price difference and concerns about prior damage attributed to S&B.
A motion by Ken Collins to hire Reeves received no second and died. Allan Adelman then motioned to hire S&B, with TJ Duncan seconding; the motion carried after the council agreed to meet with Leroy of S&B to set performance expectations and inspect for prior damage before work begins.
