Thursday’s Hays city commission work session was a short one, just five minutes with one agenda item for review.

Jeff Boyle, director of parks, presented a bid for staining and sealing the wood structures at the Hays Aquatic Park. The low bid is $24,320 from Primary Painting and Remodeling of Russell.

This process was last completed in 2013 at a cost of $24,000. The recommendation will be taken up at the Oct. 12 regular city commission meeting.
