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. �I Account Numbers Amount v Updated:5/1/2012 by Shirley Ogata B Packet Pg. 47 1791 001-180-0021-5112 $8,000.00 001-180-0021-5174 $3,000.00 001-180-0021-5175 $19,000.00 001-180-0021-5181 $4,000.00 001-180-0001-5505 $24,000.00 001-180-0001-5181 $2,000.00 Total Amount of Money To Be Transferred $60,000 to Account No. 001-180-0021-5506 The abatement and cost recovery process is that owners are billed for the work done on their properties.
