UNFINISHED BUSINESS
129146 - Eric Thorson, City Engineer, reported that he and Mr. Wagner met last week after
the council meeting and discussed a method to make some temporary repairs to
these locations. Some of city staff was out there today and reviewed the
sidewalks with Mr. Wagner. There are a few squares that we all agree may still
have to have full replacement so staff will continue to pursue that, but there
are a number of squares that this method will work. Mr. Wagner is actually
taking out a permit and is getting some material and some folks together to try
this out on his property. The city will inspect and work with them along the
way to see if its going to work. We think it will and if it does than Mr.
Wagner is going to take it upon himself to contact some of the other property
owners along there that are affected to see if he can get them to go with the
same method. Mr. Wagner might even be helping them do that with some
grandchildren and others who have some concrete experience. Mr. Thorson stated
he thinks it will work and he is recommending that we wait a week to see if we
can get this pulled together this week. He will report back by the end of the
week how they are doing and see if we can get this worked out with folks. Mr.
Thorson noted that we would do this because the highway project is coming and
people should understand that this is just for this particular location because
of the particular reason of the highway project.
