Lee,
Cathy Andreotti, one of your constituents (1023 Topping St.), called your office earlier today at my
suggestion. I had spoken with her this morning about her concern over a costly assessment for sewer
repair work on her property ($20,000), which was ratified by the City Council this past Wednesday (2/25).
Ms. Andreotti would like the term of the assessment extended from the current 10 years to 20 years to
make it more affordable. I told her the City could do so through a city council resolution, but that I needed
some direction from you to proceed with preparing the resolution.
A little background: Sometime iast year, Ms. Andreotti was informed by Public Works that her sanitary
sewer needed repair because it was causing a depression in the street. A neighbor across the street was
also required to do the same. Because Ms. Andreotti's property is situated at a high point on the block,
the sewer is very deep, thus making the repair work extremely expensive. (Most sewer repairs average
$3,000-$5,000.) Ms. Andreotti received bids from approved contractors and Public Works examined the
bids. The work was done by a reputable company. Ms. Andreotti is not disputing the need for the repair
work or the cost. She's just worried her ability to afford the the high cost. By extending the term of her
assessment, the City can make it more manageable.
Would you like me to prepare a resolution to extend the term Ms. Andreotti's assessment from 10 to 20
years?
Thanks.
Bruce
