Council approved an ordinance waiving competitive bidding for aerial spraying, ground spraying and other mosquito control efforts for the remainder of the year. The mayor and council members discussed the vendor and timing; the mayor said the vendor (referred to in discussion as "Victor") is already performing the work and the ordinance completes the city’s requirements for vector and disease-control contracting for the year.
Council members confirmed that the contract will cover spraying through December 2026 and that the work is meant to satisfy the city’s vector-control obligations. A council member asked whether the company needed to be named in the ordinance; the mayor said it is the usual vendor the city uses for spraying.
