FOGGY AGAIN THIS MORNING....AND THEN IT BECAME SUNNY AND A NICE DAY
WITH A HIGH OF 60.
THE CITY COUNCIL AWARDED CONTRACTS TO TWO DIFFERENT BIDDERS FOR
MOWING 17 CITY PARCELS. GIL BERG HAS BEEN MOWING THE CITY PROPERTIES
FOR 10 YEARS. HIS BID WAS THE HIGHEST FOR THE THREE YEARS. ALL WERE ASKED TO MAKE A 3-YEAR BID. RON SEYS OF WELTON WAS SECOND AT
$106,177 AND ROBERT STEFFANS OF RURAL BERNARD WAS THE LOWEST BIDDER
AT $105,319. ON BID FORM, EACH PROPERTY WAS BID SEPARATELY. THE
COUNCIL TOOK THE LOW BIDS OF EACH PARCEL. STEFFANS RECEIVED 11 PROPERTIES TO MOW AND SEYS SIX OF THE PARCELS.
FIREMEN WERE BUSY THIS AFTERNOON....CHECK BELOW FOR DETAILS.
IT IS GOING TO BE A BAD WEATHER DAY IN MAQUOKETA SATURDAY.
AND....SATURDAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING.

BY FIRE THIS AFTERNOON. THE DAMAGE TO
"PERXACTLY BAR AND GRILL" IN DOWNTOWN
MAQUOKETA WAS CONTAINED TO SMOKE AND
WATER DAMAGE. IT WAS UP AND TO THE REAR
OF THE BUILDING, AS YOU SEE HERE. FIREMEN
WERE CALLED ABOUT 3 P.M. AND SMOKE WAS
COMING OUT OF THE REAR ATTIC VENT WHEN
FIREMEN ARRIVED. MAQUOKETA FIRE CHIEF
MARK BECK DID NOT GIVE AN EXACT CAUSE OF
THE FIRE AND SAID INVESTIGATION WILL CONTINUE
TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. FIREMEN
CONTAINED THE FIRE QUICKLY. THE BUILDING
IS JUST NORTHEAST OF THE FIRE MESS DOWNTOWN
THAT HOPEFULLY WILL BE CLEANED UP IN
APRIL. THE POPULAR BAR WILL BE CLOSED
TONIGHT.
