He indicated that the house had been moved onto the lot in 1945 and damaged the sidewalk.

He also stated that the City should inspect all of the city sidewalks and then begin by repairing the worst sidewalks first.

If she would clean off the area, an evaluation could be performed and a proposed assessment established.
