Resident says city snow removal damaged private seal coat; council declines reimbursement
Summary
Roger Van Etten told the Greene City Council snow removal tore up seal-coated material he had paid for on an alley; council recalled a prior agreement that the resident would maintain the surface and decided not to reimburse or reseal coat the alley.
Roger Van Etten told the council on Feb. 9 that he had paid to seal-coat the alley at 3rd and E. Rowley Street and that city snow removal during the first snowfall removed some of the seal-coated material.
Council member Rodney Fesenmeyer said the prior agreement when permission was given required Van Etten to handle maintenance of the seal coating and potholes while the city would remain responsible for snow removal. After discussion the council concluded it would not reimburse Van Etten or pay to have the alley reseal coated.
No formal motion or vote to reimburse was recorded in the meeting minutes; the council's decision was reflected in discussion and the meeting record. The transcript does not record an appeal or further review process for the resident.
