Bessemer says no to lawn care rate increase.

BESSEMER – Bessemer Says No to Request for Rate Increase. The Bessemer City Council voted against a request for a rate increase from the contractor that provides landscape care services at Hillcrest Cemetery. Saari’s Lawn Service requested an increase in its fee due to inflation. The request was for an additional $300 per cutting. The council discussed the matter, and it was decided that an increase was unwarranted due to the terms of the contract. Mayor Adam Zak said he’d inform the contractor of the council’s decision.
