Commission authorizes countywide mowing contract after herbicide spraying
Summary
Transportation staff recommended contracting countywide mowing under the awarded annual bid because herbicide spraying timing and in‑house capacity create scheduling constraints; the commission approved issuing a purchase order to the contractor.
Derek (S6) briefed the commission on the annual mowing bid and the interplay with recent herbicide spraying. He said the contractor approved under the annual bid could begin mowing when the spraying window allowed and that county crews have limited capacity at present. "...go ahead and contract or get approval to to issue a PO for mowing, countywide mowing," Derek said, recommending contracting to meet timing demands.
Commissioners discussed in‑house equipment and personnel—Derek said the county has four tractors and three bushhogs ready, with a fourth potentially ready by the end of September, but that contracting would prevent delays to other essential work. The commission moved and approved contracting mowing as recommended; staff said they would coordinate timing to avoid reducing herbicide effectiveness and would return if issues arose.
