Pub works committee mtg 3/25

I attended the pubic works mtg thurs to re-discuss mowing.

As prework, I talked to grass cor's madeira schools account. Grass cor met expectations. I also spoke w steve v. Of lawnscapers. This too was a productive conversation. I was especially interested in his cost savings opptys like tot lot mulch and delaying ash removal. He shared delaying irrigating til june during the meeting. I will followup on all w john s.

I again supported grass cor because of lowest cost (cheapest) and john s endorsement (best). There is risk in this - gc is an unknown. But I will lean fwd to save 8 percent.

I was surprised by the vote - 3-0 for gc. It will now go back to council for ratification. If it doesn't both companies offered to mow until ratification for their per cut cost.

Oustanding to dos: tips for next contract (earlier, split,etc), and confirming option b is our choice (per cut).

As an aside, this was a hard decision. Upsetting
The apple cart is stressful, but I beleve we made the lowest and best choice.
