ney's Office and Engi-
neering Department

ferently than any other
area within the City.

tions from Council ad-
dressing the City's
sidewalk policy, Plan-
ning Services Manager
Laura Carstens stated
that sidewalk require-
ments are addressed
through City's Unified

ing Department. City

ered a facility and
since January 1992 al-
teration of a facility
and new construction
must provide access.

and if assistance is
available for fixed -
income property own-
ers. Responding to
questions from City
Council, City Engineer
Gus Psihoyos provided
construction detail and
related costs stating
that the difference in
assessments is due to
the east -side place-
ment of the water main
adding that property
owners are responsible
for their lines from the
water main to the stop
box and assessments
could be lower.
Psihoyos also ex-
plained payment op-
tions and that financial
assistance is available
for homeowners only.

lead piping repair is
