Response provided by Assistant Director, Pete Binion:
Is this new? This is not a new service, the City has contracted with Trugreen Commercial since 2018.
Have we done this before? Yes, the contract was originally for the Community Services & Fire departments. Since the original contract, other departments have been included in the services for the provision of “weed and feed” weed herbicide treatment for locations that are difficult to manage by mowing/trimming.
