BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to renew a contract with Watson’s Lawn Care LLC for an additional year for Lawn Care and Miscellaneous Maintenance services for properties held by the Division of Land Redevelopment.

This legislation will allow for payment for services from the date the original contract expired and extend the contract an additional year, ending February 28, 2022.
Emergency action is requested in order to continue to services without interruption.
