Washington Township supervisor eyes building project

DETURKSVILLE Although constructing a Washington Township municipal building had been discussed for years, it was only upon the insistence of then-resident Wendell Gainer that a decision to take the first step was finally agreed to August 2010.

As of the Feb. 16 meeting, the project was in the planning stage. On the request of Gainer, now a township supervisor, the office building will be on the March 16 agenda for discussion.

With spring right around the corner, the board agreed it was time to advertise for mowing and maintenance of the recreational park and the grounds around the garage. The advertisement would state that interested bidders should contact Roadmaster Gary Neidlinger to set up an appointment for a walk-around the areas involved.

Gary Brown, a lawn care specialist and owner of Little Bugger, was one of last years bidders. He requested the board be consistent with job specifications.

The person who won because he was the lowest bidder wasnt expected to do all the work, Brown said.

Although Brown did not elaborate, he had said last fall that the contract the supervisors had approved had not been fulfilled.

Hes not billed for (all) the items which he won the bid on, Brown said, adding that fertilizing had not been done.

It was not billed and you didnt veto the fertilizing, Brown said.

Gainer requested that Secretary Dawn Koch compare what was spent on lawn care and maintenance in 2013 and 2014. Brown provided the service during 2013.
