River Ridge terminates Laz’s Lawn Service, hires GulfScapes at higher rate
Summary
Citing poor performance, the Board terminated Laz’s Lawn Service and approved engaging GulfScapes for $58,500—approximately $13,000 over the $45,000 budget—authorizing management to use unassigned funds and withheld payments to offset costs.
The Board voted to terminate the Landscape Service Agreement with Laz’s Lawn Service, Inc., citing poor performance, and to engage GulfScapes Landscape Maintenance Services effective immediately.
Mrs. Adams said GulfScapes’ proposal totals $58,500, roughly $13,000 above the $45,000 budget. Board members discussed financing options, including using unassigned funds and applying payments withheld from Laz’s Lawn Service to reduce the net cost. On a motion by Mr. Blumenthal seconded by Mr. Schultz the Board authorized management to terminate Laz’s Lawn Service and engage GulfScapes, with the motion passing unanimously.
Staff will execute the termination and begin onboarding GulfScapes; operational impact and cost offsets will be reported to the Board as invoices and reconciliations proceed.
