CONTRACTING OF A TRACTOR WITH BOOM CUTTER AND OPERATOR FOR ROADSIDE CLEARING OF OBSTRUCTIONS AND GROWTH: Chairman Garbe shared information from his conversations with Arthur Serwe of Serwe Implement Municipal Sales Co. LLC. The rental cost of a tractor and mulching head boom cutter is $4,600.00 for forty hours, and an experienced operator is available the week of October 20 for an additional $25.00 per hour.
