For the <br />past fifteen years, the City and SBSA have amended and renewed agreements to <br />reflect changes in levels of service, areas to be maintained, and staffing level <br />requirements. <br /> <br />In June 2010, representatives from SBSA and the Parks, Recreation and <br />Community Services Department met to discuss new terms for an agreement. In <br />the past, SaSA has paid for a full FTE of a Landscape Gardener to maintain the <br />landscaping at the saSA Facility. However, there has been a reduction in the <br />service area at the treatment facility since a number of new buildings have been <br />built over the past year, and the landscaped areas reduced. Additionally, the <br />SBSA staff cited their own budget constraints, and offered to reimburse the City for <br />only half of a position. City staff concurred, and have made this staffing reduction <br />fit within the overall budget reductions in the departments' budget. The resulting <br />Agreement calls for SBSA to pay for one half of a Landscape Maintenance <br />Worker's salary and benefits in the amount of Forty Seven Thousand Four <br />Hundred Fifty Two Dollars. <br /> <br />AL TERNA liVES <br />Not to approve the Agreement and cease providing landscape maintenance <br />services to SBSA. <br />
