Mayor Wayne Labbe, Council members Kay Davidson, Sara Day, Jane Harris, Bruce Hughes and Robbie Rose and Treasurer/Clerk Kim Harris attended the meeting at Valley Grande City Hall.
Bids for Lawn Maintenance went up Tuesday and will last until Friday, June 17.
Labbe said the contract is for a year, lasting from July 1, 2022 until July 1, 2023.
