Council approves $15,000 sidewalk-repair reimbursement program with $3,500 cap per parcel
Summary
Council approved a sidewalk reconstruction/reimbursement program with $15,000 in budgeted funds, up to $3,500 per parcel, eligibility every 10 years per parcel and exclusions for sidewalk portions replaced as part of driveway work.
Council approved a sidewalk reconstruction and reimbursement program intended to help property owners repair or replace sidewalks. Staff said $15,000 is budgeted for the program, with a maximum reimbursement of $3,500 per parcel; the program covers repair and replacement (not driveway-related sidewalk work) and staff will determine whether a sidewalk qualifies for repair or replacement. The policy includes a 10-year eligibility limitation per parcel to prevent repeat reimbursements.
Council discussed the eligibility language and first-come, first-served funding approach and asked staff to clarify that applying does not guarantee reimbursement; council approved the policy by voice vote.
