( #2) <br />• More information on Weed CoordinatorNegetation Control — Based on <br />further review, staffs recommends instead of adding a full -time position, provide <br />$30,000 to contract for additional weed /vegetation control. If approved, the <br />Parks and Recreation Department will work with the contractor to map, monitor, <br />control and evaluate results in 2016. Contracting will be more cost effective, <br />permit more immediate results and cover more problem areas than adding a full - <br />time position as originally suggested. Additionally, staff can determine if similar <br />resources are needed each year (or not) based on weather conditions and <br />adjust the contract amount accordingly. <br />• More information on Open Space Ranger Position, metrics and what a full - <br />time position might accomplish — please see attached memo.
