Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

The Mayor respectfully requests that this Council approve the use of funds in the $62,020 Account Grounds (0140952)  to pay a FY20 invoice totaling $65,020 to North-Eastern Tree for payment of tree services. The invoice wasn't paid within the fiscal year because as these were incurred during the height of COVID.   These bills have only become aware to us, after reaching out to our vendors, in trying to clear out any outstanding invoices.

The invoice is attached.

Appropriate staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Respectfully Submitted,

Katjana Ballantyne, Mayor
