ITEM: AUTHORIZATION TO UTILIZE A FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC) CONTRACT FOR CANAL BANK CLEARING

REQUEST: Authorization to utilize a FWC contract with multiple vendors for canal bank clearing to remove exotic/invasive vegetation.

EXPLANATION: During rain and wind storm events, vegetation growing along canal bank drainage easements can splinter, uproot, and scatter into waterways.
