She has insisted such a <br />program be a long -term consistent commitment as well as one that be equitable among all sectors of <br />the city. <br />Eric Horvath spoke about the three prong program the city is undertaking in 2015. Among the newly <br />inaugurated approach was an emphasis on areas around schools. Also a no cost component for <br />homeowners unable to pay for sidewalk replacement though it has become a safety hazard. Finally an <br />expanded reimbursement plan with a more resident homeowner split with the city of the replacement <br />costs. Eric also allowed to a less than forthcoming response from some Councilmembers when he asked <br />them to list the curbs and sidewalk areas needing the most work. <br />After Eric's presentation, Valerie again stated the need for district equity. <br />Valerie Schey adjourned the meeting at 4:54 p.m. <br />qectfully Submitted, : J,-,, <br />Valerie Schey, Chairperson <br />Public Works & Property Vacation <br />
