Mayor plans controlled burn at Neoga Memorial Cemetery; local bidder requests monthly mowing contract option
Summary
Mayor Helm said he will build a heat shield and begin burning a dried brush pile at Neoga Memorial Cemetery on Thursday; Devin Kidwell asked to bid a monthly mowing contract rather than per-mowing pricing and the council said it would consider the proposal.
Mayor Helm told the council on March 10 that a brush pile at Neoga Memorial Cemetery had dried sufficiently for a controlled burn. Helm said he plans to construct a heat shield to protect cemetery stones and to start burning on Thursday morning, pending preparations.
Separately, Devin Kidwell approached the council to express interest in bidding for the cemetery mowing contract and asked to submit a monthly-rate bid rather than a per-mowing price. The council thanked him and said it would consider that recommendation when reviewing bids.
The minutes do not record an approved contract or a procurement timeline for cemetery mowing; the discussion recorded a proposal from a potential bidder and a plan by the mayor to conduct a burn pending safety measures.
