AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: Reviewed By: Approved By: DJR <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action is to gain council approval to enter into a contract with Hennepin <br />County Sentence to Serve (STS) for park maintenance. <br /> <br />2. Background. The STS program provides individuals sentenced to community service to support the <br />maintenance needs of the municipalities in Hennepin County. To maintain a regular service the program <br />requires municipalities to offset some of the expense of the program and enter into a contract. The City <br />used STS the last several years to perform maintenance activities at our parks and facilities such as debris <br />and buckthorn removal. The contract provides a cost effective method to complete some of the labor <br />intensive maintenance operations in our parks and facilities. <br /> <br />3. Project Scope. The contract will provide up to 22 crew days’ worth of support from the STS program <br />at Orono City Parks. A crew is a correctional officer with 6-10 STS members. <br /> <br />4. Cost. The 2018 rate is $367.50 per day per crew. The total cost for the years shall not exceed $8,085.00 <br /> <br />5. Funding. The contract will be funded out of the parks’ budget. <br /> <br />6. Staff Recommendation. I recommend approval of the attached contract. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br /> <br />Motion to approve the attached contract with Hennepin County Sentence to Serve for park maintenance <br />not to exceed $8,085.00. <br /> <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />A.
