Mr. Klimkowicz agreed and said that Engineer Dan Collins could tell ODOT how to fix it. He could tell them how to fix it. Mr. Gazeau commented that the sad part is the city has to spend money to crackseal it to protect the asset in which we have invested and have to live with for 20 years. If we don't do the maintenance, ODOT will not provide more money for repairs. LEGI~LATIQN Ordinance No. 2008-17 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading.
