Title
City of Clearwater Interlocal Agreement for Slope Mowing Services
Summary:
The Town has engaged the City of Clearwater since 2020 to provide services for continual bluff (a.k.a. Hallett Park) vegetation maintenance via an Interlocal Agreement (area identified in Exhibit A). Clearwater owns equipment that is able to maintain the vegetation in a way that the Town cannot and that meets the requirements for maintenance laid out in our maintenance standards.
End
Body
Previous Commission Action: The commission approved the current Interlocal Agreement with the City of Clearwater in July of 2020.
Background/Problem Discussion: The bluff has been a challenge for parks staff to maintain in a safe and reliable manner. Slopes along the bluff edge prohibit the use of our existing equipment and have made contract work very expensive.
Expenditure Challenges N/A
Financial Implications: The City of Clearwater will provide services for slope mowing at a minimum of two times annually at the cost of $1,865.78 per service.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval.
Proposed Motion I move approval of the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the City of Clearwater to provide slope mowing services along Hallett Park.
