The City Commission has agreed to a rate adjustment requested by Yellowstone Landscape for athletic field maintenance for the city. The contract states that the company can request an annual increase based on the consumer price index. The company requested a 1% increase.
The contract will increase from $505,766.50 to $510,824.16. The athletic fields are located at the Sports Complex.
The City Commission approved a traffic control agreement at their Sept. 20 meeting for Destination Daytona Lane, a private road located in the Destination Daytona complex at North U.S. 1 and Interstate 95.
The Ormond Beach Police Dept. has been contacted by the complex owners in the past, regarding speeding and parking complaints. For example, semi-trucks sometimes park on the road, blocking traffic. Florida statutes allow a city to take jurisdiction over a private road, if the city and private company agree.

The total contract cost for project management services is estimated to be $282,080 over the 42-month implementation period. City documents state that the update will provide additional options for payment of utility bills, animal licenses and permits.
