Cloud Lake approves modified landscape‑maintenance pay for Casa Mia, cuts proposed Preserve increase
Summary
The council approved a revised payment arrangement with Tom Lisi d/b/a Casa Mia: $350/month for Town Hall landscaping and a negotiated counteroffer of $650/month for The Preserve (down from the vendor's $750/month request). The vote passed 4‑0.
Council considered a proposal from Tom Lisi d/b/a Casa Mia to increase annual landscape‑maintenance charges. The vendor requested $4,200 annually ($350/month) for Town Hall maintenance (up from $3,500) and $9,000 annually ($750/month) for maintenance at The Preserve (up from $7,000).
Council Member Alexandra Powell‑Sardinas moved to accept the Town Hall price of $350/month and to counter the Preserve proposal at $650/month, noting the town budget included $8,000 for Preserve maintenance and could not cover the vendor's requested increase. Council Member Kathleen Hoock seconded the motion; it passed 4‑0 with Council Member John Tyson absent.
Mayor Russ Nidy and council members said there are sufficient funds budgeted for the Town Hall contract but not for the Preserve at the vendor’s requested level; staff will review funding for the remainder of the fiscal year. The acceptance is interim with a review scheduled in January for the remainder of FY2025‑26.
