RANCHO PALOS VERDES CITY COUNCIL
ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
JULY 16, 1985
The meeting was called to order at 6:30 P.M. by Mayor McTaggart, notice having
been given with affidavit thereto on file.
PRESENT: HINCHLIFFE, BACHARACH, RYAN, HUGHES, & MAYOR McTAGGART
Also present were City Manager Donald F. Guluzzy, Senior Planner Ann Negandank,
Director of Finance Greg Beaubien, and City Clerk Jo Purcell.
This meeting was initially called to hold a work session with the Traffic
Committee, however, since there were many residents present who wanted to
discuss the sidewalk repair program, it was agreed that the work session with
the committee would be held at a later date.
SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM (1405) Speaking in opposition to the
City's sidewalk repair program
requiring residents to pay the
full amount for sidewalk repair
were the following residents: Hank Watt, 5307 Bayridge Road; June Ann Duffy,
26461 Basswood; Edna Moglewer, 26453 Basswood; Amelia Fraker, 26829 Basswood;
and Maria Mullowney, 5715 Ironwood. These residents questioned the standards
used in requiring repair of the sidewalks, objected to the short notification
given for payment of this repair, and requested Council reconsideration of this
entire policy.
Council discussed the criteria for sidewalk repair, various methods of repairing
the sidewalk other than the entire replacement, if the contract which has been
let for this job could be delayed, and the liability resulting from not
repairing sidewalks. Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan,
the following motion: (1) appoint a subcommittee to review the repair standards
and have them report, back to the Council in two weeks; ( 2) staff should continue
to visit the complaint areas; (3) the City Attorney should evaluate the
liability involved in sidewalk repairs and this matter should be brought back to
the Council for reconsideration on July 30. The motion carried on a 4 -1 vote
with Councilman Hughes voting in opposition.
