Council Minutes of 1-2-2019 Mr. Dufala said he wanted to address the sidewalk program. He said West Ranchview and Ranchview are unique streets in the City. They are the only two streets in the city that does not have a tree lawn and the curb is the sidewalk. He said there is two inches or less for the curb. He said, while the Service Department does a great job of clearing the street and salting the roads, the plows have a tendency to damage their sidewalks. Mr. Dufala said 41 of 61 houses in the neighborhood have markings on the sidewalk for repair. He says this is unusual. He said it is the plows dump everything on the sidewalk and some of the car dealerships and others use the sidewalks to test cars to make sure the car doesn't have rattles. He said he understood it's the resident's responsibility to fix their sidewalks. He has no problem with that, but he would like some help with it because they are going to be damaged by plows and other things. Councilman Brossard said Mr. Dufala is correct and he has talked to Director Lieber about the unique nature of the neighborhood. He said he apologized if this hadn't been communicated, but there has been a reprieve of sorts as the City is reassessing the situation. Councilman Brossard said for the time being the x's can be ignored. He hopes for a positive outcome. He isn't sure what the outcome will be yet, but it is in the works and he is sympathetic to the residents on those streets. Mr. Dufala asked if it is safe for him to tell his neighbors they are on hold at this time. Councilman Brossard said that is correct. Mr. Dufala said he wanted to let the City know the man is who drove around doing the markings was a nice person who was very informative and very understanding and did a good job. The Mayor said he will get with Director Lieber and talk about this issue. LEGISLATION Ordinance 2018-103 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its third reading.
