The <br />personnel costs that you have documented should be charged <br />as a single cost for all abatements, no matter how many <br />hours the contractor takes. Public Works should also <br />develop estimates for the personnel costs of vegetation <br />abatement of undeveloped lots, and alter their charges in <br />that area as well. This may not be possible given that <br />there are only two weeks remaining in the cutting season, <br />but it is advisable, especially if the billing process has <br />lagged behind the cutting schedule.
