Avalon approves annual tree-trimming contract, allocates $25,000 from storm-damage fund
Summary
Council authorized a contract with West Coast Arborist not to exceed $130,000 for annual tree trimming, with $25,000 transferred from the storm damage account and $5,000 from cemetery maintenance. Work will include Front Street, townwide trimming, and extensive work at the cemetery.
The council authorized the city manager to execute an agreement with West Coast Arborist, Inc. to provide annual tree-trimming services within Avalon for an amount not to exceed $130,000. Public Works Director Jackie Cordero said staff ran a procurement process; two bidders declined due to timing and shared barging logistics, leaving West Coast with the responsive bid.
Cordero said work will cover Front Street, townwide trimming, and "extensive work at the cemetery." The motion included a budget adjustment: transfer $25,000 from the storm damage fund to the tree-trimming account, with $5,000 to be funded from cemetery maintenance, to reach the contract total. Council approved the motion on a unanimous vote.
