DISCUSSION AND/OR APPROVAL ON LUXURY HOMES SIDEWALK ON PALMER STREET.

Rhonda Olsen addressed the board on the problems with installing more sidewalk on Palmer and Blake Street. The board wanted to see the sidewalk continue around the home at 281 Blake Street. Luxury Homes were instructed to install the sidewalk when the home was built. Ms. Olsen stated that the sidewalk was constructed on the side of Palmer Street but, on Blake Street there is a problem with drainage and ending the sidewalk in the middle may cause some problems. Ms. Olsen told the board that the owner of the home on 283 Blake (Tom Ellner) would be willing to install the sidewalk to the end of the block, if the city would pay for the material. The board agreed to have Chairman Tom Paluso and Orlando Ochoa, Public Works, look into the drainage problem and see if the sidewalk can be completed.

Board Member Howell moved to hold legal action until further notice. Board Member Uncles seconded the motion. Motion Carried. Unanimous decision of the Commission present.

This item was tabled.
