Upon receipt of a complaint, the Public Works Department will inform the resident that it is the adjacent property owner's responsibility to maintain the sidewalk in a condition that shall not endanger persons or property and that it will not interfere with the public convenience or safety (Redlands Municipal Code 12.12.120). lT repairs are not done expeditiously by the property owner, the City may opt to wedge the sidewalk and bill the property owner. S. If, however, the sidewalk is raised because of root.growth frora a City-owned street tree, then the City shall assume responsibility for making repairs. This responsibility for making repairs shall also extend to any damage caused to the sidewalk by City workers or by the operation of City equipment and to any damage caused by work done under a City contract. C. After receiving a request to repair a raised sidewalk condition, the Street Maintenance Superintendent or his representative will determine by measurement what method,if required,will be used to rectify the condition. This decision shall be based on the following criteria: DIWReso",6637 t 8412007 3:1 S PM t l l L If vertical displacement is less than h inch along the entire length of the developed crack, no work will be required on the sidewalk. In this case,root severance is recommended. 2. If the maximum vertical displacement is between h and 3 inches, the condition shall be rectified by wedging the uplifted sidewalk with"Asphalt" or any other product approved by the Public Works Director. The wedge, if required, shall be constructed within ten working days from the day the request was made. Removal and replacement will be made at the convenience of the City. 3. Vertical displacement exceeding 3 inches shall be wedged as described above and the damage sidewalk shall be scheduled for replacement within the cowing year. All sidewalk replacement will be preceded by a root severing operation, if recommended by the Public Works Operations Manager. If crowning or removal of the tree is required, that shall also be detennined by the Public Works Operations Manager. And, WHEREAS, City staff has recommended approval of a new policy to allow private property owners to pay the cost of sidewalk repairs to the City in those cases where the City would place an asphalt wedge on a sidewalk pursuant to which the City would use such funds for a sidewalk repair program and make repairs on those sidewalks where costs are borne by property owners; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS: Section I. The City of Redlands shall continue to maintain the street treeJsidewalk policy by the City Counci I in 1992 as amended. Section 2. The City of Redlands shall annually solicit bids from qualified contractors for the repair of damaged concrete sidewalks,curbs and gutters as designated by the Public Works Director or designee based on payment of costs for such repairs by private property owners.
