REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br /> DATE: June 27, 2016 <br /> <br />ITEM NO.: 7 <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />Name Adam T. Edwards JML Public Works Director/ <br />Title Public Works Director/City Engineer City Engineer’s Report <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Item Description: Park Maintenance Contract with Sentence to Serve (STS) <br />_____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Exhibit <br />A. STS Contract for Summer 2016 <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action is to gain Council approval to enter into a contract with <br />Hennepin County Sentence to Serve (STS) for park maintenance. <br /> <br />2. Background. The STS program provides individuals sentenced to community service to <br />support the maintenance needs of the municipalities in Hennepin County. To establish a regular <br />service the program requires municipalities to offset some of the expense of the program and <br />enter into a contract. The 2016 rate is $356.80 per day per crew. A crew is a correctional <br />officer with 6-10 STS members. The City used STS last year to perform maintenance activities <br />at our parks and facilities such as debris removal and Buckthorn removal. <br /> <br />3. Recommendation. I recommend establishing a contract with STS for up to 19 crew days of <br />work from July thru December. The contract is not to exceed $6779.20. This will provide a <br />cost effective method to complete some of the labor intensive maintenance operations in our <br />parks and facilities. <br /> <br />4. Funding. The contract will be funded out of the parks budget. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> <br />Consider a motion to approve the attached contract with Hennepin County Sentence to Serve for <br />park maintenance not to exceed $6,779.20.
