SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Staff has researched and identified a number of options for Council to consider for new approaches to managing sidewalk and streetscape maintenance. The current McCall City Code requires
fronting property owners and businesses to maintain their sidewalk and manage snow removal without placing the snow in the Right of Way. Staff will review and discuss the options available
to Council to determine whether Council would like to embark on a more specific service delivery approach vs. relying solely on a code enforcement approach or something in between.
After Council has identified a preferred approach and funding preference, staff can develop the appropriate the code language, procedures, educational outreach, staffing and budget
to implement. In summary, the options are:
A. – Status Quo: continue hybrid of code enforcement and informal city maintenance.
B. – Enforcement Only: stop informal city maintenance and enforce current code.
C. – Work with affected property owners/ businesses to establish Business Improvement District.
D. – Create an “Opt In” program for Parks Department to provide maintenance service for a fee. Those that do not opt in are required to provide their own maintenance and are still subject
to code enforcement.
E. – Sidewalk maintenance becomes a City service funded by tax dollars except for certain items that remain responsibility of property owner.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discuss options and provide direction to staff on preferred approach. Staff will return to Council with appropriate Code language for implementation.
