Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Repair Program GENE - place on Jan. 17 Agenda (IR ,x872 & M&C G-886) Councilman Hamm thought the City policy on this pilot program should be consistent with that throughout the City. The City Manager said that the pilot program applies only to downtown commercial areas. councilman Kemble commented that on a new building, the owner pays for curb and gutter. Councilman Hamm said he thought the City should pay for the curb and gutter and the property owner for the sidewalk. Mayor Pro-Tem Jones said that this program did not in his opinion constitute a proper use of miscellaneous street bond funds, and there was no place to stop a program of putting in new curbs and gutters and sidewalks. He also said there was not much pedestrian traffic on Texas Street in the pilot project area. Councilwoman Deen said that this pilot program Oplluiglit be a start, and further programs could be worked out depending on the experience on this one. Councilman Hamm asked what the City would pay on this pilot program. The Ci; y Manager said that the City woull pay for the intersection work and would pay for replacement of good sidewalks and curb and gutter where necessary due to grade changes, etc. Also the City would pay for all paving adjustments to tie in to the new curb and gutter. He said the City would be paying about 40;x, or $20,000 on the pilot program. He said such a program would probably get voluntary assistance much faster at other locations. Mayor Barr said that the Council at the regular meeting should: 1) Decide whether to do such a program, and, if so 2) Adopt a formula for payment of any program adopted. At the regular Council meeting, Councilman Hamm made a motion that the City pay for curb and gutter and the property owner pay for sidewalks on this pilot program project only. t. motion to table consideration of this motion for two weeks by Councilman hoover, seconded by Jones, was passed 5 to 3. Mayor Pro-Tem Jones said he wanted more information on the schools' need for sidewalks. Councilman Eagle asked what the motion by Councilman Hamm would mean in money. He was reminded that IR 4872 discussed this, and the difference is 5$6,000. 2.

Mayor Pro-Tem .Jones said that cinated. he was concerned that last fiscal year 2,319 vaccination receipts were issued and paid for at $2.00 each, but that 759 of them were never returned, indicating that many dogs were not being vaccinated.
