STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor Yost and Members of the City Council
FROM: Nancy L. Beard, Director of Parks, Recreation&
Community Services
SUBJECT: Status Report— Landscape Specifications Project
BACKGROUND:
The City Manager's strategic financial plan targeted the Landscape Maintenance contract
specifications to be completed by May of this year. That deadline has passed. Funding is
identified in the current budget for the contracted services. The amount budgeted reflects
retirements and vacant full time positions not filled in anticipation of the contract agreement. The
Landscape Division has been utilizing part-time staff to assist with the workload, until the
contract agreement has been reached.
It is anticipated that the specifications will be completed and whether it has been determined
contract services are a superior option for the December 13, 1999 agenda.
Additionally, a Tree Ordinance will be proposed for Council consideration at an upcoming
meeting. This ordinance is presented on request of the Tree Committee as a means of adding
emphasis to regulations on the removal, planting and trimming of trees in the public domain.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
