Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Tuesday, January 19, 2010 <br />Page 4 <br />Mr. Metzung replied, because it's a 5 foot sidewalk as opposed to a 4 foot path. <br />Mr. Perna asked if a commercial establishment or business could afford to do it. <br />Mr. Metzung stated, it has nothing to do with that. It's got to do with the width of the path and <br />our ability to locate that drive. Again, when we constructed that path, in order to fit it where we <br />fit it, it had to go over hill and dale, it was only 4 foot wide. We knew at the time that there was <br />going to be no way that we could maintain that and plow that. It was stated at the time. It hasn't <br />changed. It's just physically impossible for us to do that with our sidewalk machine. <br />Mr. Perna asked what we can do to correct it. <br />Mr. Metzung replied, unless somebody's looking to purchase some type of new equipment to do <br />it, there's nothing we can do. <br />Mr. Perna made a motion we buy a piece of equipment. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, we appreciate the comments. He remembers when we put in <br />the walkway, that's the one that we were trying to not tear out trees and go in and around. It was <br />the best effort for nice weather to put some safe walking. He remembers hearing that it was not <br />going to be functional in the winter. If we had the wherewithal for a machine that would fit there <br />we would, but we don't. We will certainly keep it under advisement or look at it. Council <br />President Buckholtz does not know if there's anything we can do with manpower. <br />Mr. Metzung stated, we would have to do it manually. He does not see that. <br />Mr. Perna stated if the sidewalks are not clean, he has to walk on the street and he does not want <br />to get run over. <br />Cottncil President Buckholtz replied, we don't want that either. <br />Mr. Perna thanked Council. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked if there were any other comments. There were none. <br />CONSIDERATION OF 1VIINiTTES : <br />Regular Council Meeting - December 21, 2009 <br />Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mrs. Cinco, made a motion to approve the minutes as written. <br />ROLL CALL: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None <br />Motion Carried <br />Minutes Approved <br /> <br /> <br />
