Commissioners approve MOU with DC Lawn Care for snow removal and salting

The Tippecanoe County Commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding with DC Lawn Care to provide snow‑removal and parking‑lot salting services, county staff said during the meeting. Keena (community corrections staff) presented the MOU and Speaker 2 moved for approval; the motion passed.

Keena described the MOU’s operational scope as covering main parking‑lot areas, while county staff currently handle sidewalks and smaller areas. "This is for, snow removal and salting of our, parking lots," Keena said. Speaker 2 added the contractor’s fees, saying the arrangement is for $300 for every snow event and $175 for salting.

The board approved the MOU by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll‑call tally. The MOU covers routine winter maintenance of county parking areas and does not change the county’s sidewalk clearing arrangements, which staff said remain managed internally or by other participants.

No additional budgetary breakdown or funding source for the MOU was specified during the discussion.
