Letters sent out will have a photo of the violation, so homeowners will be able to easily identify the areas of concern. Resolution 2025-124 was recommended to Council by Councilwoman Gilchrist and seconded by Councilman Madden and passed by a vote of 3-0. • The meeting then turned to Resolution 2025-125, a Resolution authorizing the Director of Economic and Community Development to advertise for bids for the award of a contract to provide construction services for the 2025 Sidewalk Program, as detailed in the specifications on file with the Division of Engineering, authorizing the Mayor, following approval of the Board of Control, to contract for the same with the lowest and best bidder.

Resolution 2025-125 was recommended to Council by Councilman Gilchrist and seconded by Councilman Madden and passed by a vote of 3-0, and that concludes my report, Mr. President, but if I could please have a moment of personal privilege.

Environmental Control Committee Councilman Madden: Mr. President, I do not have a report, but I would like to amend a report that was made from the Environmental Committee meeting, which took place on November 25, 2025.

It's not changing the Resolution that's coming before us, but I just wanted to correct the figures that were mentioned at the meeting, thank you. Council President Brossard: Thank you so much. Councilman Shymske, Chairman of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee, do you have a report this evening?
