The complete list of names, addresses and owners of the sidewalks have been compiled along with the listing of square feet that needs fixing at each address and the estimated cost of replacement of that sidewalk if we do it on City contract. All of this information has been summarized and provided to the Clerk of Council along with a request for legislation to get started on this program. Have identified 2005 addresses where repairs are needed - this is about three times the size of the past round of sidewalk repairs.

Law Director Gareau reported: 1) During the Summer period the Board of Building Code Appeals turned down two requests for Simmons with respect to moving of houses. `' This was appealed to the Court of Common Pleas and this past week the Court of Common Pleas upheld the Board of Building Code Appeals -which means we were sustained in our refusal to permit the wing of two houses so there are two lawsuits that the City was successful in;
