To me, this all sounds like very reasonable increase for more work done. Dick - with the boats approval, can this contract be updated to reflect the increase in work and compensation?

Bob stopped in with concerns as you might expect. I shared that we had a contract with a price quoted for each task. I also admitted that I owned the additional $15 for each “Town Hall” mowing since the space / area grew. I recall a brief discussion that the increased area would cause increase in the fee for this task. I then brought up the Sports Complex and the frequency of mowing. He said he mows 2x per week during the heavy growing season. I acknowledged that, however, I have no knowledge of the increase in price for that task. Bob indicated he had spoken with Deb last season. I don’t recall that I was included in that discussion – possibly – but I don’t have any record of it. So – we need a resolution. The total difference was $195. Nine visits to the Sports Complex consumes $135 of the $195. The remaining $0 covers the increased area of the Town Hall. This is a contract / policy matter and beyond my authority to manage. What say you? I told Bob I would reach out to you. If you wish to – please let me know individually how you would like to proceed and I will do the math. I do thing this warrants a contract addendum to document the business going forward. Thanks, Dick Richard Morin Town Manager Town of Hollis, Maine
