INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM June 1, 2020
TO: Pat Davis, President, City Council
FROM: Timothy M. Keller, Mayor
SUBJECT: title
FY20 Status Update for Goal 7, Objective 4 (Council Bill No. R-19-139, Enactment No. R-2019-037) - Completed New Sidewalk Notices
body
Goal 7, Objective 4 states, “Work on improvements to the sidewalk notices. In short, the process is a 4-letter escalation process. For each sidewalk defect, we potentially have to touch it four times, both in the field and in the office. The improvement would be to reduce the number of letters, field inspections, and ultimately reduce the overall 180 day process. We also look to make it easier on all involved, including the property owner(s). Update SharePoint with status report by end of FY/20. (Municipal Development - Construction Services)”
We have completed a new two (2)-letter escalation process. The new schedule is an overall 120-day process. The first letter has options for the property owner, which gives them guidance on how to repair. It also gives the owner 90 days to repair the sidewalk. The second letter and final notice gives the owner an additional 30 days to repair the defective sidewalk.
This Executive Communication is being forwarded to City Council for approval.
