File Number: 13-230 <br />from adjacent property owners. However, sidewalks within City owned property, including <br />parks, buildings, plazas, and parking lots, are the responsibility of the City and cannot be <br />maintained using grant funds. Not maintaining these sidewalks increases the City’s legal risks, <br />especially in “trip and fall” cases because of broken and displaced concrete. Litigation and/or <br />settlement costs from a single incident can be thousands of times more expensive than the <br />original cost to repair the concrete. <br />The proposed budget is an allowance to be funded annually. These funds would be used to <br />inspect sidewalks on City property on a regular basis and repair or replace damaged areas. <br />Work would be incorporated into the Annual Sidewalk Repair Program each year. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />These projects will cost $275,000 per year, which requires increasing the appropriation of <br />General fund monies for both FY 2013-2014 and FY 2014-2015 equally. The source of the <br />$550,000 appropriation is the General Fund unrestricted reserve. <br />PREPARED BY: Ken Joseph, City Engineer, Engineering and Transportation <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/30/2013
