Council hears senior complaints about sidewalks; city manager to research past grant program
Summary
Councilman Fernandez reported seniors are falling on deteriorated sidewalks and asked whether the city could revive a past program that helped property owners repair sidewalks; the city manager said he would compile records about a prior grant program and report back at the next meeting.
Councilman Fernandez (S4) raised complaints he heard from seniors about unsafe sidewalk conditions and asked whether the city should consider a program to help property owners repair sidewalks. He said residents told him there had been prior assistance in the past that supported repairs for private-property sidewalks.
City Manager (S2) responded that he could compile information on what had been done previously, saying, "It was a grant program with funding and voting, on the part of the city council," and he offered to consult with staff (Ed) and return with details at the next meeting. Councilmembers agreed staff should investigate past programs and report back.
