SUPPLEMENTAL SPECIAL MEETING (5:00 PM)

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL 3. Parks, Streets, and Facilities (Pg 13/40): a. #9 -We have a lot of medians that are maintained by private vendors, how much savings really could be here related to that? Answer: The City maintains approximately 85 acres of street median landscaping, accounting for nearly 40% of the total medians maintained in the city. Regularly applying mulch to the City -owned medians is a best practice that helps suppress weeds, conserves soil moisture, improves plant health, and provides a maintained Look to the City's landscaped medians. The City's median landscaping services and mulch services are performed by contractors under the City's Repair and Replacement (R&R) budget. The proposed reduction will eliminate the mulch service contract completely at $100,000 annually and significantly reduce contractor's services on median landscaping by $100,000 annually out of an average of $540,000 annually. The proposal also eliminates the fall leaf pick up service. Starting 2024, the City has been sending information to residents that they are responsible for their yard debris. In the past, residents would sweep the yard debris to city street expecting city to provide unfunded services to sweep and remove resident's debris. Effective 2025, the City will start sending notification for illegal dumping when resident sweep their yard debris into city street. Eliminating the unfunded service on fall leaf pickup will save the city additional material and dumping fees and staff can refocus on core services. 4.
