SIDEWALK INSPECTION is another vital service, handled by the office of the City Engineer, phone 387-2240. Primarily, sidewalks are the responsibility of property owners. The City Engineer will inspect damaged areas and recommend repairs on request. If these repairs are not made by the property owner, the City will do the necessary work at the property owners expense.

IMPROVEMENTS such as new curbs, gutters, sewers, paving and sidewalks can be sought by contacting the City Engineer. He will give you information on the proper procedure to be used by persons who wish to be assessed so that they may make such improvements themselves. Petitions and permits are required.
