D�IINtJTES OF THE LEGISLATIVE HEARING
SIDEWALK ISSUE - 2275 Youngman Avenue
Wednesday, May 30, 2001
Room 330 Courthouse
Gerry Strathman, Legislative Hearing Officer
The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a.m.
STAFF PRESENT: Allan Czaia and Gerald Tvedt, Public Works-Sidewalks
Gerry Strathman stated this meeting is being held to hear objections regarding a sidewalk
reconsttuction project.
(Bob Young gave a document to Mr. Strathman.)
Bob Young, 2275 Youngtnan, appeazed and stated his board of directors asked him to appear
today regazding the sidewalk on the block from Springfield to Madison which includes the block
where he resides. There are 34 panels scheduled to be replaced. Mr. Young walked the block
and found that 22 panels need to be replaced. He noted the panels in his document. Some of the
panels were previously replaced and are cracked again.
Mr. Strathman asked is his request thaY they replace 22 panels. Mr. Young responded in the
�rmative.
AI Czaia reported that Mr. Young is talking about cracked panels, but Mr. Czaia is looking at
other things besides cracks, such as tree heaves, settled panels (also called water pockets) that
will hold water, and seven panels have reverse slope which means water is not n�nning across to
the boulevard, but being held up on the property side. Public Works likes to get water flowing
from properiy side to boulevazd side and then out towazd the street. There are about 22 to 24
cracked panels.
Mr. Strathman stated fhe additional 10 or 12 panels are because of the slope. Mr. Czaia
responded there are 7 panels that need replacing for reverse slope, 3 panels listed as settled with a
water pocket, 4 panels listed as having tree heaues, and the rest aze cracked panels scattered
throughout the block. He and Mr. Young are probably in agreement about the ones that aze
cracked. The difference is the others that do not appear to be a broken panel but are out of
alignment.
Mr. Strathxnan asked did he look at the panels in terms of tree heaves and slopes. Mr. Young
responded there were two of them. He did noY note any panels that were sloped or ponding.
Was it common practice, asked Mr. Stratlunan, to replace panels with reverse slopes when
sidewalks are being repiaced. Mr. Czaia responded it is something that he normally does and he
makes that proposal. People will debate whether there is merit to that. He can take a second look
0�,. SYy
LEGTSLATIVE HEARING-SIDEWALKS-2275 YOLTNGMAN AVENUE Page 2
at it. He looks at the sidewalks in the spring when frost is still on the ground. Some of this could
be a frost heave. It couId settle back after tfie frost is gone.
Mr. Strathmau asked can the reverse slope panels be left alone if the condo associafion is okay
with leaving them and is that a problem for Public Works. Mr. Czaia responded he would like to
look at the panels a second fime to make sure Public Works is not leaving panels that have a
potenrial for water ponding, which could cause ice to build up. If there is enough of a slope on a
krill, a reverse ponding will sflll drain down the hill. If that is not a real issue, the panel can be
left in. The concern he has is standing water.
He would assume, statec3 Mr. Sirathman, that the condominium associarion does not want
standing water. NIr. Young agreed.
Mr. Strathman stated it does not seem they are far apart here. He asked if Mr. Czaia is willing to
take another look at the sidewalk. Mr. Czaia responded that is not a problem.
Mr. Strathxnan suggested Mr. Czaia and Mr. Young view the sidewalk together. Mr. Strathman
will defer a decision until later. If they come to an agreement, that will be the end of the matter.
If they disagree, Mt. 5trathman will talk to Mr. Czaia and Mr. Young on the telephone, and make
a decision about the panels on which they disagree.
(Mr. Czaia and Mr. Young agreed to meet today at 130 p.m.)
The meeting was adjourned at 10:40 a.m.
Note: Allen Czaia and Robert Young did meet. Based on their agreement, Gerry Strathman
recommended approval of the original order; however, Public Works will make a reasonable
effort to reduce the number of replacement panels by up to six panels if possible.

The problem "defective sidewa{k" was caused by multiple problems, tree roots, poor subgrade materials, freeRhaw �:ycles,
service life limits, chemicaf additives, eutreme temperature variations, etc. These problems occur on a citywide basis and
must be addressed and corrected annually. Left uncorrected, the sidewalk condition would worsen to a state where jt
would be unusable and"subject to increased pedestrian injuries from falis and possible litigations.
The community will benefit from this project because it wil! provide safe defect free sidewalks for its citizens. The sidewalk
contracts are done by private contractors generating public sector jobs as a resutt.
Historically, the sidewalk reconstruction has created negative feedback because of construction procedures and
assessments. Property owners question the assessments, despite the fact that up to one-half the assessment is City
subsidized. Having to assess for walk reconstruction remains a controversial issue.
This option would allow the infrastructure of sidewalk stock to deteriorate, which'in turn, will generate more personai injury
suits, resulting in the expenditure of larger dollar amounts in repairs and replacement, as well as claim payouts.

D�IINtJTES OF THE LEGISLATIVE HEARING
SIDEWALK ISSUE - 2275 Youngman Avenue
Wednesday, May 30, 2001
Room 330 Courthouse
Gerry Strathman, Legislative Hearing Officer
The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a.m.
STAFF PRESENT: Allan Czaia and Gerald Tvedt, Public Works-Sidewalks
Gerry Strathman stated this meeting is being held to hear objections regarding a sidewalk
reconsttuction project.
(Bob Young gave a document to Mr. Strathman.)
Bob Young, 2275 Youngtnan, appeazed and stated his board of directors asked him to appear
today regazding the sidewalk on the block from Springfield to Madison which includes the block
where he resides. There are 34 panels scheduled to be replaced. Mr. Young walked the block
and found that 22 panels need to be replaced. He noted the panels in his document. Some of the
panels were previously replaced and are cracked again.
Mr. Strathman asked is his request thaY they replace 22 panels. Mr. Young responded in the
�rmative.
AI Czaia reported that Mr. Young is talking about cracked panels, but Mr. Czaia is looking at
other things besides cracks, such as tree heaves, settled panels (also called water pockets) that
will hold water, and seven panels have reverse slope which means water is not n�nning across to
the boulevard, but being held up on the property side. Public Works likes to get water flowing
from properiy side to boulevazd side and then out towazd the street. There are about 22 to 24
cracked panels.
Mr. Strathman stated fhe additional 10 or 12 panels are because of the slope. Mr. Czaia
responded there are 7 panels that need replacing for reverse slope, 3 panels listed as settled with a
water pocket, 4 panels listed as having tree heaues, and the rest aze cracked panels scattered
throughout the block. He and Mr. Young are probably in agreement about the ones that aze
cracked. The difference is the others that do not appear to be a broken panel but are out of
alignment.
Mr. Strathxnan asked did he look at the panels in terms of tree heaves and slopes. Mr. Young
responded there were two of them. He did noY note any panels that were sloped or ponding.
Was it common practice, asked Mr. Stratlunan, to replace panels with reverse slopes when
sidewalks are being repiaced. Mr. Czaia responded it is something that he normally does and he
makes that proposal. People will debate whether there is merit to that. He can take a second look
0�,. SYy
LEGTSLATIVE HEARING-SIDEWALKS-2275 YOLTNGMAN AVENUE Page 2
at it. He looks at the sidewalks in the spring when frost is still on the ground. Some of this could
be a frost heave. It couId settle back after tfie frost is gone.
Mr. Strathmau asked can the reverse slope panels be left alone if the condo associafion is okay
with leaving them and is that a problem for Public Works. Mr. Czaia responded he would like to
look at the panels a second fime to make sure Public Works is not leaving panels that have a
potenrial for water ponding, which could cause ice to build up. If there is enough of a slope on a
krill, a reverse ponding will sflll drain down the hill. If that is not a real issue, the panel can be
left in. The concern he has is standing water.
He would assume, statec3 Mr. Sirathman, that the condominium associarion does not want
standing water. NIr. Young agreed.
Mr. Strathman stated it does not seem they are far apart here. He asked if Mr. Czaia is willing to
take another look at the sidewalk. Mr. Czaia responded that is not a problem.
Mr. Strathxnan suggested Mr. Czaia and Mr. Young view the sidewalk together. Mr. Strathman
will defer a decision until later. If they come to an agreement, that will be the end of the matter.
If they disagree, Mt. 5trathman will talk to Mr. Czaia and Mr. Young on the telephone, and make
a decision about the panels on which they disagree.
(Mr. Czaia and Mr. Young agreed to meet today at 130 p.m.)
The meeting was adjourned at 10:40 a.m.
Note: Allen Czaia and Robert Young did meet. Based on their agreement, Gerry Strathman
recommended approval of the original order; however, Public Works will make a reasonable
effort to reduce the number of replacement panels by up to six panels if possible.
