Commission approves parks digger purchase and five seasonal hires; large park-equipment invoice appears in payables
Summary
The commission approved purchase of a digger for the Parks Department (up to $4,000), hired five part-time summer workers at $18–$18.25/hour, and paid a major vendor invoice (Landscape Structures Inc.) for $154,125.32 in the bills list.
The Lead City Commission approved several parks-related actions on April 6. The commission carried a motion to purchase a digger for the Parks Department for up to $4,000 and carried a separate motion to hire five part-time summer parks workers at the following hourly rates: Sasha Olson $18.25, Kathy White $18.25, Lilyann Godfrey $18.00, Isabel Bauernfeind $18.00 and Eain Murphree $18.00.
Separately, the bills list approved by the commission included a payable to Landscape Structures Inc. for $154,125.32, which is the single largest vendor line in the payables list (SEG 036). The minutes do not link that invoice explicitly to the digger purchase or to a specific parks project in the text of the motion; the digger purchase had a separate motion that capped the purchase at $4,000.
The commission also awarded a three-year mowing contract for South Lead Cemetery to RBM Essentials for $20,700, with a $750 increase per year to cover inflation; that contract appears in the Public Works section of actions and was carried as approved.
