Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR STREET SWEEPING SERVICES WITH NATIONWIDE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES (C-08-001) TO APPROVE A 2.96% ANNUAL COST OF LIVING RATE ADJUSTMENT REQUEST PER CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CITY COUNCIL)
Body

The attached proposed budget resolution would increase the City's FY 2020-21 budget in the Gas Tax Account by $26,496.64 to account for the requested CPI increase.
