County may save green on lawn care
Durden has done an excellent job, but it’s like so many other things we’re having to do. We don’t have the money to pay him and we’re having to figure out another way to get it done for a lesser price,” Commissioner Mort Ewing said on Wednesday. But Commissioner J. C. Henderson said commissioners should consider the potential liability of bringing lawn maintenance in-house and the additional cost of purchasing mowers and other equipment. The county contracts with Durden’s Lawn Care to do lawn maintenance at an annual cost of $115,720. Part of Durden’s contract is lawn care at the county’s recycling centers at a cost of $67,080. Facing a more than $5 million shortfall and layoffs of 100 or more employees, they are looking at several options to produce additional revenue or save money, including bringing the county’s lawn maintenance and solid waste contracts in-house. Durden has offered to drop his contract price by $12,000, but the county would still stand to save about $58,000 by bringing the service in-house.
