Board seeks more detail on Mariposa landscaping charges and contract oversight
Summary
Oak Park MAC members pressed for additional review of Mariposa Landscaping costs after questions about specific charges and responsibilities for tree-related work; staff will coordinate with Public Works to clarify billing and contract performance.
Board members probed Mariposa Landscaping costs and the County's oversight of its contract under discussion of Consent Item 6c.
Member Brian Trushinski questioned an approximately $800 entry identified as "May Bus Stop" in the CSA 4 financial report and asked why the cost was charged to the CSA 4 landscaping budget instead of the Kanan Shuttle program. Michelle Santucci noted Mariposa will reach its one-year anniversary on July 1 and described ongoing seasonal planting and irrigation repair work. J.L. Diaz and Trushinski requested an additional review of the contract, including clarifying which tree-related tasks are handled by the contractor versus Public Works.
The Board directed staff to work with Public Works to obtain supporting documentation for the questioned charges and to clarify responsibilities, with a follow-up report requested at a future meeting.
