Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
08/21/2008 -Council awarded contract and annual purchase order.
Back round:
At the September 2, 2008 meeting of the Mayor and Council, Resolution No. 2008-350 was
adopted authorizing the execution of an Agreement and issuance of a purchase order to Lang
Jancinto Farming and Scott Tractor Service relating to the discing of vacant properties for weed
abatement services.
In the FY 2011/12 budget, money for the contracts to perform weed abatement services was
originally budgeted under CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funds. A re-
evaluation of the CDBG Program indicated there were other existing projects better suited for
CDBG funding such as street lights and Legal Aid Services of San Bernardino. Staff then
identified money in the Department's budget to cover the spring session of weed abatement.

The abatement and cost recovery process is that owners are billed for the work done on their
properties. If the bill is not paid, the amount owing is placed as a lien on the property taxes and
the City is reimbursed for the costs incurred.
Staff is currently in the process of completing a Request for Qualifications and Resolution to
present to Council to approve new contracts for this service. This is a reallocation of existing
funds, not adding any funds to the department budget.
