Editor's Note: The following is a policy statement only and has not been adopted as an ordinance.

   The Administrative Committee recommends that the city assume the duty to make emergency repairs to sidewalks according to the following policy:

   (A)   The city would budget approximately $5,000 per year for emergency sidewalk repair.

   (B)   The city would repair sidewalks which have become genuinely hazardous to pedestrians by reason of their disrepair.

   (C)   The repair or replacement of sidewalks which are not in a hazardous condition would be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, but such repair or reconstruction would have to be done according to city specifications.

   (D)   This policy would apply only to sidewalks within the boundaries of city rights-of-way and the repair or replacement of all sidewalks on private property would be the responsibility of the property owner.

(Policy statement of 7-23-85)

§ 90.21 DIRT OR DEBRIS.

   It shall be the duty of the owner or occupants of lots abutting on sidewalks to keep the sidewalks in front of the property or lots clean and free from rubbish and dirt, whether they are washed by water flooding the sidewalks or from any other source. Should filth accumulate on the sidewalks of the city and the owner or occupant of the lot abutting the sidewalk at such place or places fail to remove the filth, it shall be the duty of the city to notify the owner in writing, setting forth the objectionable condition of the sidewalk.
