(Resolution attached) RE: REPLACING CURBS AND GUTTERS AFTER THE FLOOD Mayor Porter told the Council that after the flood the City had two men go around and find where the sidewalk and curb was broken. so a claim could be put in. One vear after when the ground had settled Forsgren Perkins checked for broken side- walks and curbs and added to that list. Some of the businesses had gone ahead and replaced their curbs and gutters so they could operate their businesses. Flamm Furniture and Clair and Dees Tire put in the curb and gutter. After the flood the State was paid for that street, and the State replaced that sidewalk. However the BOR did pay the City some on damaged sidewalks on that street. Using the figures that the BOR would allow us on sidewalk replacement was not as much as both Flamms and OK Tire thought they should get. Mayor Porter felt that the amount allowed by the BOR should be split between the two. The sidewalk before the flood 4' which the BOR allowed on and Flamms and OK Tire replaced it with a 6' sidewalk. The Council decided that they would pay them the amount the BOR allowed and split it. If Jim Flamm is not satisfied with that decision he could come to Council meeting at a later date to protest.
