Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Infrastructure Management is responsible for curb replacement within the city limits. To facilitate the replacement of deteriorated curb at minimal cost, the City instituted a program many years ago to reimburse property owners who replace curbs. .
Reimbursement occurs subsequent to inspection of the new curb by the City. The majority of these replacements occur while the property owners are constructing new sidewalk, which are ordinarily the property owners' responsibility to maintain and/or replace. The Division of Infrastructure Management requires funding for this cost effective and beneficial program to improve curbs in the City.
This legislation authorizes the expenditure of up to $50,000.00 to establish funding to repay the various property owners for costs associated with the construction of new concrete curb.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the Curb Reimbursement program is available within the Streets and Highways Bond Fund as part of the Public Service 2016 CIB.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to allow this work to continue in order to eliminate possible safety issues thereby promoting motorist and pedestrian safety.
