| Notes:
The March 11, 2008 Public Works Committee separated the pieces of legislation and moved forward the Resolutions regarding the Revolving Fund and the Construction Contract. The Committee directed staff to submit a supplemental report providing the following information: 1) An analysis of the reported “trip & falls” do they occur mostly in the main (commercial) corridors or in the neighborhoods (paths of travel)? 2) A two year analysis of the current sidewalk repair program including number of repairs on private property, the cost to the city and whether or not the money was recovered. 3) Additional details regarding the $300,000 revolving fund and exactly how the money will be spent on sidewalk repairs (i.e. city owned property or private property); how the program will work and how long the fund could last once implemented. Staff was also requested to include in future reports the criteria sheets and evaluations of contractors.
The resolution regarding the Sidewalk Repair Prioritization Policy was held in Committee and staff was directed staff to return to a future committee meeting with a detailed report on the prioritization criteria and the sidewalk liability ordinance; staff was also directed to look at methods to make it easier for property owners to pay for services; and to look at other cities to see if the implementation of a sidewalk liability ordinance caused the property owner's insurance rates to increase.
The Committee requested an annual report on the revolving fund providing the following: 1) how much money is still in the fund? 2) How many people used the fund and paid the fund back? 3) How many properties were liens filed against due non-payment.
