Title
A Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Independent Contractor Agreement with A&B Landscaping and Tree Service, Inc. for Sidewalk Snow Shoveling Services to Change to the Not to Exceed Amount from $20,000.00 to $50,000.00 and Authorizing its Execution

Overview
Overview
Due to an increase in participation in the Village's Sidewalk Snow Removal Program, there is a need to increase the Independent Contractor Agreement with A&B Landscaping and Tree Service, Inc. from $20,000.00 to $50,000.00. This program provides snow shoveling assistance to property owners who are unable to clear public sidewalks due to age, disability and/or severe health problems and have no one else who is able to help them with snow removal. In order to continue this program an addendum to the agreement will be necessary.
Body
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.
Fiscal Impact
In the General Fund, Street Services budget, account no. 1001-43740-765-530667, External Support $20,000.00 is budgeted for these services. To date $23,806.82 has been spent.
It is recommended to transfer $30,000.00 in funds from the Street Services, Roadway Maintenance account (1001-43740-765-560633) to the External Support account. These funds were dedicated for a possible salt purchase in the fall of 2019. This transfer is to support the balance of the 2018/2019 snow season for this program. Subject to the Village Board's approval of this agenda item, a future budget amendment will be proposed in order to approve the transfer.
Should staff see a need to request more funds for salt or these services in the fall of 2019, a budget transfer will be requested at that time.
This program will be reviewed as part of the FY2020 budget discussion.
