Introduction

This report requests that the  City Council set a public  hearing
for  August 11,  1992, to  hear protests  regarding the  work and
confirm the assessments of the cost to repair damaged  sidewalks,
driveways, curbs  and the removal of  damaged pavement in parkway

Background

On October 9, 1979, the  City Council approved a sidewalk  repair
program which provided  for property  owner participation  in the
cost of repairing damaged sidewalks.  Residential property  owner
participation  is 50% of the cost of the repairs if the damage is
related to  tree roots;  the City  pays the  remaining 50% of the
repair cost.   Property owners are  assessed 100% of  the cost if
the damage is not related  to tree roots and commercial  property
owners are  assessed 100% of the cost  regardless of the cause of
the damage.

Certain repair work has been completed at the following addresses
and  the property owners'  share of the  cost is now  due for the
following  properties:    1031-1/2  19th  Street,  2904  Delaware
Avenue,  1704 Delaware  Avenue, 1528  Franklin Street,  901 Third
Street, 2016 Oak Street, 2020 Oak Street, 630 Wilshire Boulevard,
1043 Chelsea  Avenue, 1035  19th Street,  1060 20th  Street, 1502
14th Street, 2322 Fifth Street, 811 Pine Street.

A hearing must be held pursuant to the provisions of Chapter  22,
Sections 5600 to  5630, of the  Streets and Highways  Code of the
State of California.  A Resolution setting the public hearing for
August 11, 1992, is attached.

Budget/Financial Impact

The financial analysis, which will indicate total revenues to  be
derived  from this assessment  district over the  next two years,
will be presented to City Council at the time of public hearing.

setting  a public hearing for August  11, 1992, on the assessment
of costs of the subject sidewalk repairs.
