EXTENDING SPURGER AVIATION’S SPRAYING CONTRACT FOR THE LAST 1-YEAR TERM General Manager Shadden — Most of the contracts are for 2 years with the ability to extend for 2 1-year terms if you are happy with them. This is the last year on Spurger and it will have to be rebid next year. This is just adding another 1 year to our helicopter spraying for our drainage ditches. Vice President Nicely — Listening to Amos at different meetings, sounds like he and Mark are happy with what they have done. General Manager Shadden - Yes sir, they have been the best deal out there and since then they have added a to where they sell chemicals now. Mark is taking bids right now for summer spraying and he said they were $3.00 cheaper on 2-4d than anyone else’s bid so far. He is still waiting on a few bids to come back. Vice President Nicely made a Motion to approve extending Spurger Aviation’s spraying contract for the last 1-year term. The motion was seconded by Director Woody and it passed by unanimous vote.
