Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 22, 2015 Page 10 opined this was not something one even typically thought about when purchasing a home, or the potential variables in cost, nor was it part of their normal due dili- gence in that purchase. Regarding City liability and costs, Chair Stenlund asked if it would be of value to the City Council for the PWETC to make recommendations on a potential ceiling for the cost of rehabilitation of the laterals, capping the cost for homeowners and the point the City should or could step in to share those costs.

Councilmember Willmus suggested that the PWETC's first step be to develop such a common set of scoring criteria for their next review and ranking exercise, opining that would be most beneficial to the commission and the community. Councilmember Laliberte reported on her research of potential grant monies for sidewalks through the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP). Since the
