Earlier this month, the Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety approved the request of Cemetery Sextant Mike Collins to conduct a controlled burn.

Collins said they have been gathering up fallen branches and limbs and have a decent-sized pile that needs to be burned. Collins said he would contact the Marshall County Central Dispatch Center and the Plymouth Fire Department before starting the burn.

City Attorney Jeff Houin presented a contract for IT Services. Houin said their current contract with PC Source ends on August 1^st, and the city presented notice of not wanting an automatic renewal. Three months ago, the city administration created a committee to review the service and options available.

The committee’s recommendation to the Board of Public Works and Safety was the sign an agreement with Hyperwave Consulting. The monthly payment will be $4,562, although the number will fluctuate slightly with the number of users, computers, servers, and security work.

The contract with Hyperwave Consulting is for one year. The contract with PC Source was for three years. Hyperwave offered a one-year agreement to assure the city that the services they will provide are professional and up to the city’s standards.
