Resolution 19-87

The City of Monticello, Iowa

IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA

RESOLUTION #19-87  

Resolution to approve the preparation of bid specifications and seeking bids related to mowing at Baty Disc Golf Course and Northridge Retention Area.

            Whereas, The Monticello City Council has determined it appropriate to see to the preparation of bid specifications and to seek bids to hire out the mowing, weed whipping, and potential other related maintenance of the Baty Disc Golf Course and Northridge Retention Basin, and

Whereas, The Monticello Parks and Recreation Dpt. is currently caring for said areas, with most other City mowing being handled by an outside contractor, and

Whereas, The Council has discussed with the Park and Recreation Director whether or not it makes sense for that Department to continue to mow and care for those areas or to hire a contractor to perform that service with differing opinions amongst City Council, Park Board Members, and Park and Recreation Director and Superintendent, and

Whereas, In analyzing the benefits and negatives of having Park and Recreation employees mow or otherwise maintain parks the Council finds that it would be beneficial to review bids related to the Baty Disc Golf Course and Northridge Retention Basin, and finds that the City Administrator should work with staff and others to draft specifications and to publish and/or otherwise distribute those specifications so that bids may be considered.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Monticello does hereby direct the City Administrator, in concert with others, to prepare bid specs. to be published and distributed related to the mowing, weed whipping, and other related maintenance of the Baty Disc Golf Course and Northridge Retention Basin as noted previously herein, to be received by no later than the end of July for consideration at the 1st Council meeting in August.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto.  Done this 17th Day of June, 2019.

Brian Wolken, Mayor
