Sidewalk Assessment Reduction at 338 Hartung Street
Council voted to reduce the sidewalk repair bill for property owner Steve Kirsten from $10,838.40 to $3,250, forgiving $7,588.40 for sections the owner had already repaired before the city contractor arrived. The reduction was approved due to communication failures between the property owner, city staff, and contractors.
- Property owner responsible for remaining $3,250 representing approximately 10 sections that still needed work
