Hi Dave and Susie,
Thanks for meeting with us today regarding the sidewalks. I promised that I would get you information on the home
that Matt is making us continue to pay the water bill on. The address of that home is S33 Pheasant lane. That is
the first home where we learned that there was a 6" depth requirement for the sidewalks and that we had to rip out
and replace the current S 1/2" - S 3/4"sidewalks with 6" sidewalks. Our Superintendent told Matt that we would build
future sidewalks to the 6" depth now that we were aware of the requirement.
Because that sidewalk was not torn out and replaced, when the homeowners came in to transfer the water bill into
their name, he refused to let them transfer and made them leave the bill in our name. I have a voice message of
him telling our superintendent that is what he did.
Currently, we are still paying their water bill.
I believe that a portion of the negative responses the city is experiencing from the building community is due to the
attitude of a new inspector. There are ways to enforce rules without being inflammatory and sometimes the
attitude is more difficult than the rule itself.
Sincerely,
Merna Terry
