RE: BROKEN CURB -- CITY LID The mayor said that from the railroad track to the canal the curb is broken, and the people want it cleaned up. On 3rd East and other places in town the curb and some sidewalks need to be put in and replaced. He suggested that we announce an LID and go see people and see if they want to be on the LID to get these repairs done. It would be a city wide LID. RE: SEWER GRANT The mayor discussed with the council the sewer grant we have been trying to get for five of our interceptor lines to be enlarged. They are surcharging. When the Legislator passed the 1¢ sales tax, they put so much of that money in the water improvement, so we immediately sent in this same project and they approved it. Our grant will be for $312,750. We have to match that with 25% which we have in the TEDRO funds. He had notified Jim Keller and he will meet with us right away, so we can get everything ready to go.

All Aye. RE: TWO ISSUES FROM PLANNING & ZONING Chuck Frost was at the meeting to represent the Planning and Zoning. He said he would like to discuss two issues: (1) The first one is sidewalks. He said he was happy about the proposal that was in the paper that the city is going to have an LID for sidewalks. They had included in the new sub-division ordinance a provision for sidewalks. Anything that is built in the future should be required to have sidewalks. They would like to recommend to the city council that all future building permits have a sidewalk as part of their construction. When riding around the different subdivisions, you will see one home with sidewalk and one without. Sometimes you will go down a block and there will only be one sidewalk on the whole block. .The parents have come to Planning and Zoning complaining because there is not sidewalks by the Lincoln School, Adams School, and the high school. Chuck thought the LID is a good idea because there are a lot of old sidewalks that are broken up badly and need to be replaced. This effort would beautify the city. The mayor would like to include in the LID replacing old curb and gutter. The council discussed putting sidewalks next to the street, because when the snowplow goes through the sidewalks are worthless. Chuck Frost said if you get the sidewalk next to the curb, that is as much property as property owners can spare. There are difficulties around town because people have planted next to the curb and put fences next to the curb, this could be overcome by educating them. The mayor said the engineers are working on the costs and as soon as they get the costs we will go around and contact people. i
