Council felt this <br />might be an appropriate procedure to follow should a claim be <br />received for consideration. Maurer indicated that only the <br />Collins lot and one other were excluded from the sidewalk <br />reconstruction due to being in excellent condition. <br />Bachman reminded council that they are setting precedent and to <br />make the window for reimbursement as narrow as possible. Council <br />agreed that if arrangements were made for complete sidewalk <br />reconstruction and it is reasonably sure the work was done in <br />response to the July 13, 1993 letter, the city will consider <br />reimbursement claims for a portion of the cost providing the <br />claim is accompanied by a receipted bill for the work. These <br />claims will be accepted for consideration for 30 days from the <br />date of this assessment hearing. <br />Jane McCoid, 2202 Folwell, asked if all sidewalks in the Grove <br />are being replaced and Maurer replied in the affirmative. Ms. <br />Mcoid commented on having some sidewalk slabs replaced in the <br />past and three trees died as a result of having roots cut. She <br />was informed that the trees were not weakened by the injury, but <br />the roots should have been treated to protect against the <br />infestation of dutch elm beetles. She was assured that the city <br />forester has been working on this street/sidewalk project from <br />its beginning and will continue to do so. <br />There being no others wishing to be heard Baldwin closed the <br />meeting at 8:31 p.m. Baldwin presented the following list of <br />changes to be made in the assessment roll for the 1993 street <br />project: <br />1596 Vincent front footage reduced to 81.5 <br /> sidewalk footage reduced to 69.5 ft. <br />2190 Folwell front footage reduced to 85 ft. <br />1586 Burton front footage reduced to 85 ft. <br />1578 Burton front footage reduced to 85 ft. <br />1564 Burton front footage reduced to 85 ft. <br />Baldwin declared that these are the only exceptions to the <br />assessment policy for the 1993 improvement project. <br />Also noted was the possibility of a claim for partial sidewalk <br />reimbursement from 1603 Northrop. <br />Bachman reminded council that they must hear and pass upon all <br />written objections after which council addressed a written <br />objection from Norman Fruman, 2180 Folwell, regarding the amount <br />of his assessment. Mr. Furman's property is on a corner lot, the <br />short side (Folwell) being scheduled for overlay and the long <br />
