What the sidewalk program means: Public works staff said the 2026 program focuses sidewalk repairs concentrated in areas already scheduled for curb and resurfacing work to lower per-unit cost; property owners in affected blocks will be notified of estimated costs and options to contract privately within 60 days, after which the city’s contractor would perform the work if necessary (SEG 1908–1996).
Procedural note: Several votes were voice votes with the conventional "I" response recorded; where the transcript recorded a roll-call (for example, Ordinance 26-08 and 26-09), those were unanimous 'yes' votes per the roll call segments (SEG 382–394, SEG 480–487).
