Explanation

The Transportation Division is responsible for curb replacement within the city limits. To facilitate the replacement of some of the many miles of deteriorated curb at minimal cost, the City instituted a program many years ago to reimburse property owners who replace curbs and apply for reimbursement at a rate of $16.00 per lineal foot of curb. Reimbursement occurs subsequent to inspection and approval of the new curb by the City. The majority of these replacements occur while the property owners are constructing new sidewalks, which are ordinarily the property owners' responsibility to maintain and/or replace. The Transportation Division is in need of establishing funds for the Curb Reimbursement program for 2004.

This legislation authorizes the expenditure of $100,000.00 to repay the various property owners for costs associated with the construction of new concrete curb. Recent authorizations for this program were $94,267.50 in 1998, $100,000.00 in 1999 and $15,000.00 in 2002. No funds were authorized in 2003.

Funding for the Curb Reimbursement program is available in the Resurfacing project within the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance transfers the needed funds from this project to the Curb Replacement project, from which it can then be expended.
