ITEM SUMMARY:
The City uses contractual services for grass and weed cutting for properties in violation of the property maintenance
code.
Community Development receives complaints or fields observations of properties with tall grass and or weeds more
than 8 inches in height. Written notice is posted on the property in the form of a grass/weed violation letter with 7
days to comply. On the 8" day with no compliance, Community Development contacts the contractual service to cut
the grass. At that time a P-ticket for $50 is written to the property owner, in addition to an invoice for the full cost of
the mow.
The City uses the contractual services as a last resort to gain compliance.
Staff issued an RFP for tall grass and weed cutting services and received one response. The Response was from
WA Management, Inc. who is the provider who has worked the past several years with the City and is familiar with
the City’s requirements and processes.
