body
HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The City has undertaken a street resurfacing project which is currently underway. As a result of the resurfacing that has already taken place, incidents have been identified where street curbs have been covered with asphalt causing storm water to migrate onto sidewalks and adjacent properties, exacerbating flooding issues.
This moratorium would require the City to cease any further resurfacing currently underway for 60-days, during which the City Council will engage the services of a qualified inspector to inspect work that has been completed and report back to City Council with their findings and recommendations.
