PUBLIC HEARING - TO CONSIDER ORDINANCE NS-XXXX TO ADOPT THE <br />FISCAL YEAR 2020-21 BUDGET <br />Defective curb/gutter - 3000 block of W La Verne <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council Members, <br />I respectfully request that the city allocate enough money from our General Fund budget to properly address the long <br />Priority List of defective curbs, gutters, and sidewalks throughout the city. <br />For the last 5 years, I have repeatedly requested a defective curb/gutter in my neighborhood to be repaired by the city, <br />and I have been repeatedly told there is not enough money in the city budget to repair it. Pics attached. <br />If you look at the proposed 2020-21 General Fund Budget, there is a minimal amount of $50,000 in Gas Tax Funds in the <br />Public Works budget for Omnibus Concrete repairs. (Page 622 of Detailed Budget) <br />This is the reason there is a long “Priority List” of concrete repair work to be done, and why the curb/gutter in our <br />neighborhood has not been repaired in the last 5 years. <br />2015 <br />I reported the defective curb/gutter using the previous city app after OC Vector Control found several dead birds from <br />West Nile Virus in our neighborhood. <br />OC Vector Control posted a “PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY” sign right next to the defective curb/gutter that is constantly <br />filled with standing water and smells horrible. Once a week, OC Vector Control was coming out and treating the standing <br />water to kill mosquitoes to stop the spread of West Nile Virus. <br />1 <br /> <br />
