Handout - Michael and Marian FoggMichael and Marian Fogg michaelfogg@bellsouth.net 10/2.eft9 366 Plaza Topic: - Reimbursement for replacing the City's cracked sidewalk and crumbling curb. 1. I inquired about having the City repair/replace their defective concrete in the city right of way in front of our home. 2. I was directed to the head of Public Works; Scott Williams. He came by to inspect my concern and AGREED that the curb needed to be replaced, and yes, it would be advantageous to tie it in with the two new houses adjoining the east of our property. 3. Mr. Williams said that he had already committed his 2019 budget and did not have the money to do the repair. He said that I could repair it at my own cost and submit my receipt to the City Manager and request reimbursement, if any monies were available. 4. Mr. Williams told me that there were NO plans for spending money on the sidewalks in the 300 block of Plaza for at least FIVE years. He did not intentionally mislead me. 5. With the information that we would have to live with crumbling concrete for five years, in July 2019, I paid for a permit and paid to have the work done, at the same time that the two new constructions next to us were replacing the concrete they had demoed. 6. Behold ! Three weeks ago (NOT 'five years' later) the entire 300 block of Plaza was receiving parcels of sidewalk and curb demolition and replacement. 7. Since the former and exiting City Manager appropriated the money to do 49 repairs in our 300 block, I think that the City of Atlantic Beach should pay for my much needed repair of a city sidewalk, on City right of way. 49 Repairs \ 300 Block of Plaza Our curb, Before repair - Our curb, After I paid for repair - Our Curb, tied in with two New Homes to produce continuous drainage - North Jax Concrete July 8,2019 Bill to: Michael Fogg Address: 366 Plaza Atlantic Beach, FL Replace 50 feet of city's cracked and broken gutter and curb to meet city's specifications 950 Replace 30' of city's sidewalk in front of east driveway to alleviate ponding on sidewalk 1,125 2,075 - Total for labor and materials eLIFF Supervisor
