THE ABOVE ITEM.
Dear City Council and Staff,
Please PULL ITEM #13 regarding the $1.6M contract for curbs, gutters and sidewalks for
many reasons:
1-The contract is incomplete. It is missing the “details” of what actual work is being done.
When a street pavement contract is brought for your consideration they actually list which
streets are to be re-paved. I expect the same for this contract.
2-The Staff Report does not mention anything regarding details of the work, why these need to
be suddenly done when 2 months ago the city was prepared to have the residents take over
sidewalks.
3-Provide a list of which curbs, gutters and sidewalks are being repaired. Break it down…
-How much of this contract is replacing good ramps with yellow bumps?
-How much is sidewalks and where?
-Is there any other work being done and if so what and why?
4-Where is the $1.6M coming from?
-Was it budgeted-if so, is this within budget? If not, why not?
-What fund is it being drawn from?
-Is any of this being covered by a grant? If so, is there a deadline, requirements, etc.?
Expecting the Council to approve spending $1.6M without any information is poor
management and prevents them from performing the financial oversight they were elected and
are expected to do. This is tax payer money!
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
