Council approves $102,271 landscaping reimbursement to Willow Bend West 5 HOA
Loading...
Summary
Council authorized reimbursement of up to $102,271 to the Willow Bend West 5 Homeowners Association for landscaping tied to a screening‑wall project; staff said the cost was vetted against project budget and consultant estimates and will be paid from the CIP construction budget.
Clay Lipscomb, community investment program engineering manager, briefed the council on item L on June 24 requesting approval of reimbursement to Willow Bend West 5 Homeowners Association for landscaping work related to a screening‑wall replacement project.
Lipscomb said the reimbursement—estimated at $102,271—reflects a large landscaped area maintained by the HOA that surrounds the neighborhood and noted staff vetted the HOA estimate against consultant and project budget assumptions. “It's just simply a reimbursement to the HOA, and taking out of the project construction budget,” he said. Councilmember LeBon asked whether landscaping is included in preliminary CIP estimates for screening‑wall replacements; Lipscomb said staff typically includes landscape costs in project budgets and that this location is larger and more intricate than typical entryway plantings.
A motion to approve the reimbursement and authorize the city manager to execute necessary documents passed 8–0. Staff said the payment will be processed from the related CIP project construction budget.
