Council approved a piggyback contract with Southern Disaster Recovery LLC to provide debris removal, stump grinding and a dedicated project manager during emergencies; activation would be reimbursed through FEMA.

The council approved a piggyback contract that would allow the city to use Hernando County’s agreement with Southern Disaster Recovery LLC (SDR) to provide debris removal services following a declared emergency. City staff said the contract supplies a dedicated project manager to coordinate contractors, manage stump removal and grinding/mulching and assist with paperwork to facilitate FEMA reimbursement.
