It was moved that Councilor Gallant has a conflict, it was seconded and Gallant left the room. Chair Blanchette disagreed with the idea of contracting with a current City Councilor due to anticipated citizen concerns. Other councilors at the meeting felt that Gallant is a business owner, the bidding was done in the same way as any other bidding process and Bangor Lawn was the lowest bidder. This will save $69,000 from the Public Works budget. This bid is awarded for 3 seasons, with a revision allowing for cancellation of the contract with a 30 day notice.
