Reports to Council

Jeff Putnam, the City’s Parks and Streets Manager, provided Council with information on the estimated cost, proposed scope, and operational impacts associated with re-establishing maintenance of select non-City-owned lands for the remainder of 2026.  

Administration has identified a proposed maintenance program and estimated cost of $38,000 to re-establish maintenance for select non-City-owned lands for the remainder of 2026. The work would improve the appearance of the identified areas while requiring temporary adjustments to other mowing and weed control service levels. A contractor option is also available for maintenance of non-City-owned land along the Valleyview corridor, including Frontage Road areas, at an estimated cost of $45,000 for the remainder of 2026, bringing the combined estimated cost of both options to $83,000. 

A funding source would need to be confirmed before the work proceeds. Seasonal flower planting is not included in the estimate.
