Superintendent's Report
Supt. Dingman reported on two requests which were made at the previous
meeting of the Board on September 17, 1980. The:first concerned the
cutting of grass at private residences when ordered to do so by the
Building Commissioner, and the method of determining the fees to be
charged back to the property owner.
Discussion followed on the floor. Alderman Holman commented that she
would suggest to Alderman Banfield, who had called attention to the
problem, that he discuss the billing process with the City Controller
and try to track down property owners who are using this method to get
their grass cut.
The second request which. Supt. Dingman addressed concerned the break-
down of costs to outfit the concession at Cass Park ballfields. He
presented copies of a breakdown excluding force account.labor.
