Century Picking Up A Little Extra Money By Mowing Library Lawn, Installing Christmas Lights

December 17, 2024

The Town of Century will pick up a little extra money over the next year for mowing and outside Christmas decorating the Century Branch Library.

It’s the renewal of a contract first executed in December 2023.

The town will mow and provide lawn maintenance at the county-owned library building, which is adjacent to the Century Town Hall. The town is responsible for inspecting the library grounds every two weeks and providing upkeep, including mowing, blowing, trimming, edging the debris pick up. The county will pay the town $300 per month.

In addition, the town will install Christmas lights around the eaves of the library to match those at town hall, with the county providing up to a $150 reimbursement.

The Escambia County Commissioner approved the agreement renewal at their meeting last Thursday, ratifying a contract approved the town back in late November.

    Here it is the 17th of December and I haven’t got my gas and water bill from the town. It was almost this late last month. Wake up people of Century, Gomez isn’t interested in the people of Century. He has to take care of his south Florida cronies first.

    I’m sure they will use this extra income wisely. The Town of Century is well-known for their excellent money management.

    In other unrelated news, the Century Mayor and City Council have outsourced lawn care and xmas lights for the local county library to a south Florida lawn company for $2000/month.
