Jeff Moore was recognized Monday as the 2019 Hiawatha Parks and Recreation " Volunteer of the Year"

(KNZA)--Special recognition for a Hiawatha volunteer.

Hiawatha Parks and Recreation Director Stacy Jasper during Monday's City Commission meeting recognized Jeff Moore as HP&R's 2019 “Volunteer of the Year. ”

Through the course of this year, Jasper said her department has hosted 38 events and programs. That's eleven more activities than in 2018. Jasper said none of them would have been successful without the help of volunteers.

With the Commission's desire to have city crews handle more of the larger projects the city needs done instead of contracting the work out, the Commission Monday took steps to get the necessary equipment.

The Commission voted to award the bid for the lease of a Case excavator to Victor L. Phillips in the amount of $18,887, which is to be paid annually over seven years. It was among five bids opened December 11.

The Commission approved seeking bids for the purchase of a semi truck, a flat bed trailer, a low boy trailer and shoring boxes.

At the request of Water and Lights Superintendent Brad Scott, the Commission voted to seek bids for the replacement of the 1983 bucket truck and for a small pickup truck.

The Commission voted to accept an insurance payment of $105,500 for the city's street sweeper, which was a total loss following a recent fire. The Commission then voted solicit bids for a new machine.
