Council commits to 750 tons of rock salt for 2025–2026 winter season
Summary
The council authorized a commitment to order 750 tons of bulk rock salt through MiDEAL for the 2025–2026 winter season; unit price was not specified in the record and the expense will be charged to the Major Streets budget.
At the March 24 meeting the Niles City Council approved a commitment to order 750 tons of bulk rock salt for the 2025–2026 winter season through the MiDEAL purchasing program. The motion authorized the Department of Public Works Director to sign the contract; the unit price was not specified in the minutes because MiDEAL pricing is set at time of purchase.
Council records show Councilmember Gretchen Bertschy moved and Councilmember Michael Thompson seconded the commitment; the motion carried unanimously among those present. The minutes record the quantity (750 tons) and the funding source (Major Streets budget) but do not list an estimated total cost because the per-ton price was "unknown at this time."
