Board accepts single bid for Union Grove Lake mowing at $80 per visit

Board members reviewed a single bid from "Ethan's Lawn Salon" to provide mowing, edging and blowing services for Union Grove Lake / Newson's property. The bid lists a fee of "$80 each time mowed, rain and drought permitting," with general labor for additional services at "$75 an hour." A board member read the proposal aloud and clarified the bid scope was for mowing only; any additional work would require written orders.

A motion to accept the mowing scope and authorize the chair to sign was moved and seconded; the board carried the motion by voice vote and approved execution contingent on final contract terms. Committee members noted it is unusual to have only one bid and emphasized that the contract should plainly restrict work to mowing unless additional services are explicitly authorized in writing.
