Mr. Axel Hoyer: Good evening. My name is Axel Hoyer. I live on 23477 Greenwood Lane. While she mentioned about how the city is being spruced up, I'm here to question about some work that was done on Stonybrook where they came to seal the seam of the cement street. At the same time, another contractor did work on sidewalks. Now, we have a ruined street, and we have tire marks all over the place. My question is, does the city get any kind of reimbursement or adjustment in the cost of this thing? Because we're reminded of it every day. There are tire tracks all over the place. Unfortunately, it's not as clean as it once was. My question is, do contractors, are they held responsible for shoddy work? I also noticed when Clague was worked on, a number of times they had sidewalks that were dug up again and repaired. I guess my question is, in terms of the fiscal aspect of this, when these contractors do shoddy work, what do we as a city/taxpayers get back? Mayor Jones: Mr. President, our Service Director. Service Director Kearney: Mr. Hoyer, I've been dealing with phone calls for the last three or four weeks with two contractors over there. They both work for the city. They were both hired by the city, but they should not have been in the same area at the same time. I talked to someone today for 20 minutes, one of Mr. Marrie's residents. It's terrible. I agree with you. We can't just blink our eyes and fix it. The guy was doing the streets, and the bobcats were going back and forth tearing up the sidewalks. I agree with you. Mr. Axel Hoyer: The aftermath is, they get paid to do a job, and if the job is terrible, what happens then? Service Director Kearney: I left a voicemail message with the Engineer to talk about what to do with this. It's not ending for me, I agree with you. Mr. Axel Hoyer: Well everyone talks about how nice North Olmsted looks. I don't like the asphalt streets. We're lucky to have a concrete street. I don't know if anyone could have coordinated that better, or stopped it, but you go around and there's other concrete streets. You hate to have it. You can't get it off, so my question is, does the city get some kind of reimbursement or adjustment or something like that because it's obviously, you've got to pay for it, right? Service Director Kearney: Absolutely, we have to pay for it. Of course, they want their money. I've been talking with the Engineer about this for the last two weeks, three weeks. Believe me, it's in our sights. It's not going away from anybody. The phone rings constantly about it. I know what you're saying. I know exactly where you live. I know you guys drive up and down the street.
