PUBLIC MEETING RE: RAMPS 5/20/10

The meeting took place before the regular council meeting and it concerned sidewalk ramps for handicapped people. Here are the hi-lights:

  • Must be built by the same contractor and not with new money. The ramps were funded by part of the two million dollars appropriated in 2009. $643,932 was carried over and after paying the final bill for Gohmann paving there was $350,00 left over. ADA mandates that the ramps be up to code.
  • CDBG funds cannot be used because CDBG is for low income properties only.
  • The cost of each ramp is between $1,000 and $2,000. There will be 300 to 400 ramps built.
  • There will be a list of all ramps, locations and cost furnished per Mr. Coffey's request.

Chris, again are you trying to say that you feel the city should pay health insurance for life on union members and their spouses? if so why aren't you pushing for the same benefits for nonunion city workers then?

Where's Jethro's intermediary when you need her most ... and why does he even need an intermediary?
