The request of the Police Department for authorization to seek
bids on the mowing of grass at the Police Training Center was
reviewed. Councilperson Seeber questioned why the Park Department
could not assist in the mowing. Bob Brooks, Director of Parks ,
reported that they have evaluated that mowing of the Police
Training Center and have found that lack of manpower and the
distance that this area is from park grounds would limit their
ability to maintain the facility in a respectable manner. It was
moved by Dowie, seconded by Miller that authorization be given to
the Police Department to seek bids for mowing of the Police
Training Center and the Police Department continue to investigate
alternate possibilities. Ayes: Dowie, Miller. Nays: Seeber.
