Session 1846 <br />July 22, 2002 <br /> <br />able to clarify and study the allocations until January. Mr. Wagner believes that the <br />biggest allocation that should be studied and discussed at greater length is the <br />$119,615 for Sutter and Leland Street and Sidewalk Repairs. He wants the record to <br />show that we will come and study at greater length how this $162,000 is going to be <br />spent. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams said that Sutter is the entrance to our City and it is in a horrible state of <br />disrepair. If we want to keep our City healthy, we have to take care of the fringes too. <br />that means you have to help your neighbor, then this means you have to help your <br />neighbor. He is hoping that if we help our neighbors, our neighbors will be more <br />inclined to help us. The federal budget may continue at a deficit enough to warrant <br />eliminating CDBG funds in the future. <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch agrees with the Mayor's sentiments and she is glad that the Code <br />Enforcement money will opened up to benefit the northeast area. She visited this area <br />after the CDBG public hearing and she agrees that there are too many code violations <br />that we should not be allowing in our City. This area must be fixed up. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams said that once Sutter gets repaved then it will become imperative to put <br />pressure on them, us and the County to enforce really tough code enforcement <br />measures. <br /> <br />The motion to approve carried unanimously. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION: WEST DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS: <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman moved a resolution to support street improvements on West Drive to be <br />paid by the residents by special tax assessment. Mr. Sharpe seconded the motion, <br />which carried unanimously. <br /> <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS: <br /> <br />Iris Crowder, 6635 Etzel, stated that the alleys on Crest and Etzel were getting fixed on <br />the other side of Kingsland seven years ago. She wanted to know why they stopped <br />when they got to her street. She pays taxes and would like to have an answer. Mayor <br />Adams said that Mr. Ollendorff would find out for her and contact her with the <br />information. <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR LEGISLATION: <br /> <br />Mr. Munkel requested that the City Manager draft a bill related to nursing home safety. <br />He continued saying that we had four citizens die in the Leland Nursing Home incident <br />and the State Legislature failed to pass anything meaningful to deal with this issue. The <br />criminal justice system has also failed us in this matter as well. We might not have <br /> <br /> <br />
