City Manager Rolison reported that under Ordinance No. 402, the Building Inspector would not grant permit unless a regulation sidewalk was to be constructed, but provided no penalty in the event of non-compliance and was not to be considered as adequately effective. Under Ordinance No. 333 cost of sidewalks was chargeable to property owner following posting of notices and passing of Resolu- tion of Intention, conducting hearings, etc. and was considered too cumbersome for lesser repairs of this nature. For some time City Departments had been working with the City Attorney in preparation of an ordinance which would simplify consideration of sidewalk construction, copies of,which had been handed to Council members for their perusal. It was their joint recommendation that Ordinances No. 333, and No. k02 should be replaced with the new ordinance. Engineering Department had made a partial survey of many conditions to be corrected. Once the ordinance was adopted they expected to proceed in an orderly manner to make necessary improvements. Councilman Britschgi• offered introduction of ordinance, seconded.by Councilman Morgan and carried.
