SIDEWALK REPAIR, MAINTENANCE, AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
Pursuant to M.S. Ch. 429, as it may be amended from time to time, the primary responsibility for keeping and maintaining the public sidewalk of the city in front of each parcel of land abutting thereon clean and in such state of repair as not to be dangerous to public travel is hereby imposed upon the owner of each abutting parcel of land.
(Prior Code, § 8-1-1)
The Public Works Director shall inspect the public sidewalks within the city or cause the same to be inspected by some competent person under his or her supervision and direction at least once in each year and shall, from time to time, report in writing to the City Council any sidewalks believed by him or her to be in such disrepair as to be dangerous to the public travel thereon, giving therein the information as to enable the locating of each alleged defective sidewalk.
(Prior Code, § 8-1-2)
Upon receipt of the report, the City Council shall, by resolution, set a date for a public hearing on the report and cause at least two weeks’ written notice of the hearing to be given by mail, addressed to the owner of each parcel of land abutting upon the portion of any sidewalk alleged in the report to be in such disrepair as to be dangerous to public travel thereon, the notice to be addressed to the owner at the address shown on the last general assessment roll of city real estate.
(Prior Code, § 8-1-3)
(A) If the City Council shall find upon the hearing or any adjournment thereof that the sidewalks embraced within the report, or any of them, are in such disrepair as to be dangerous to the public travel thereon, it shall direct the Public Works Director to send or cause to be sent a written notice of the defect to the owner of each parcel of land abutting upon any defective sidewalk, directing him or her to cause the sidewalk in front of his or her parcel of land to be repaired at his or her own cost and expense in the manner recommended by the Public Works Director within 30 days from the date of the notice.
(B) The notice shall further state that if the sidewalk is not so repaired by him or her, the city will proceed to make the repairs and assess the cost thereof against the abutting parcels of land. For good reason shown, the Public Works Director is authorized to extend the time given to any owner with which to make the repairs.
(Prior Code, § 8-1-4)
(A) If any repair is not made by the owner of the abutting parcel of land within the time and in the manner specified in the notice to him or her or any extension thereof granted by the Public Works Director, the city may then proceed to make the repair under contract or by its employees under the supervision and direction of the Public Works Director or of some competent person in his or her office assigned thereto.
(B) Careful and adequate records of the cost of each repair shall be maintained showing the cost in time employed and of materials used in effecting the repair.
(Prior Code, § 8-1-5)
