BOARD /COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION.
• COUNCIL ACTION
CDY Downtown Maintenance
December 2, 2008
Page 2
The services CDY are providing include, but are not limited to, maintenance of landscaping, sidewalk
cleaning, graffiti abatement, way - finding and safety ambassador assistance, business development
assistance and overall management and leadership of downtown improvement efforts within the
scope of the agreements and the purposes of the DYBID
The "Third Amendment" refers to an allotment of $50,000 which is topic of a 2009 Budgeted Policy
Issue to be acted on by Council the previous day (12/1/08) The outcome of that vote, if in the
affirmative, provides for CDY's request from the City for a cash contribution to the downtown program
Streets and Parks continue to provide for budgetary contributions through payment of irrigation and
electricity consumption The "Memorandum of Understanding" further defines the obligations between
the City and CDY for maintenance tasks. The "Agreement for Downtown Ambassador Services"
defines the obligations between the parties for the following types of activities: Safety Ambassadors,
Concierge/Way- Finding Assistance, and Public Safety Notification of any relevant downtown issues
It is our intent in 2009 to consolidate these three pieces of legislation into one document for ease of
handling in the future The time simply did not allow for that consolidation to occur now
