Regular Council Meeting Minutes 9-21-09 Page 10 Council President Buckholtz stated, some people don't want it done. Mr. Nichols replied, I know. Council President Buckholtz said, some homeowners don't want it done. Mr. Nichols said what is he saying, the city should come up and help share some of the expenses. Council President Buckholtz said some people don't want to even pay their portion. Some people just want it left alone, but it doesn't mean we're not, when Doug says we are looking at it- Mr. Metzung stated we do have a program for assistance as our work in that area has sparked interest in that area where we have had several residents come in and look for help and they have received it. Council President Buckholtz asked a question if any of these sidewalks affected by stormwater. Mr. Metzung said no, but on that same subject, he went to the American Public Works Conference where he did find a very exciting tool to saw uneven sidewalks. While it is a temporary replacement because the tree roots are still there, it is very economical. People that do it are out in Canton so we need to get enough interest in the area that they would come down. They are talking like $35.00 a sidewalk block to do this compared to $150-200 a sidewalk block. That's pretty economical. Council President Buckholtz asked, so it's almost like a nail file sheering effect of evening it. Mr. Metzung replied, it's like a saw. It's pretty ingenious. Council President Buckholtz asked if that is a piece of equipment we would use, or a company comes out and does it. Mr. Metzung said they are not selling the piece of equipment, they are just coming down and doing the work. Council President Buckholtz asked that we find out a little more about that. Mr. Metzung said he will get something together in that area. Council President Buckholtz thanked Mr. Metzung and thanked Mr. Nichols.
