Regular Council Meeting <br />2-18-08 <br />Page 7 <br /> <br /> <br />Motion to terminate service provided by Reed's Lawn Service to May#ield Village as <br />of January 25, 2008 to residents enrolled in the senior snow removal program (50 <br />drives) (Straw poll taken 2/4/08). <br />Mr. Saponaro, seconded by Mrs. Mills, made a motion to terminate service provided by Reed's <br />Lawn Service to Mayfield Village as of January 25, 2008 to residents enrolled in the senior snow <br />removal program (50 drives) (Straw poll taken 2/4/08). <br />Council President Buckholtz asked if there was any discussion. <br />Mayor Rinker stated this has been previously discussed on the record. For purposes of the <br />record tonight, it is important to note the following, especially with some residents present. <br />Mayor Rinker cannot recall a comparable decision having to have been made by Mayfield <br />Village in all of the time that we have had the snowplow program. The one other time we have <br />lost a contractor in mid-season was after the snowstorm of November 1996 which anyone could <br />say was a freak occurrence. The contractor at that time just basically surrendered. He got wiped <br />out. On a more serious note, this is one where we all should recognize that the Village went out <br />of the way to document what was going on, trying to give this provider every opportunity to <br />prove itself. Reed's was new to our program. Mayor Rinker does not think they fully <br />appreciated the commitment that they really had to make even though it was spelled out. We <br />never like to have to terminate a contract under any circumstance, but this is one where serving <br />the residents really was very important. That is the consensus of Council. While this is a <br />program that is often difficult to manage and a lot of times when residents call in expectations <br />are often somewhat different for some people, we generally work through those issues. This is <br />one where in all honesty we felt this was the best`decision to make. Mayor Rinker appreciates <br />the fact that Council has recognized that and that we are moving forward in making sure that we <br />maintain a program that serves people well. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None <br />Motion Carried <br />Service Terminated <br />Motion to authorize acceptance of bid and expenditure not to exceed $6,000.00 to <br />A&G Landscape for snowplow service to residents enrolled in the senior snow <br />removal program (50 drives) (Actual dollar amount payable to A&G for these <br />additional 50 drives for the rest of the season will not exceed $6,000.00 but the <br />additional expenditure on the part of the Village as a result of the change in <br />contractors is approximately $1,800.00 more.) (Straw poll taken 2/4/08). <br /> <br />Mr. Saponaro, seconded by Mrs. Mills, made a motion to authorize acceptance of bid and <br />expenditure not to exceed $6,000.00 to A&G Landscape for snowplow service to residents <br />enrolled in the senior snow removal program (50 drives) (Actual dollar amount payable to A&G <br />for these additional 50 drives for the rest of the season will not exceed $6,000.00 but the
