Program Steps: Program Steps:

Citizen contacts City and asks to participate in the Cost Share program.

If funds for the current fiscal year are not available, the citizen's name is added to a group list for the following year. When funding for the following fiscal year becomes available, city staff will contact citizens through individual authorization letters, requesting a response indicating interest in continuing with the program.

For each positive response, city staff visits the property and assesses the sidewalk repair needs.

City staff sends the citizen an individual quote for the cost share, a sketch of the replacement limits and a 30-day deadline for submitting payments.

City staff then prepares a contract with the residential property owner.

The work is completed by the city and comes with a one-year warranty.
