Policy Order O-4

City Council, February 13, 2012

Councillor Kelley, Councillor Decker, Councillor Cheung, Mayor Davis, Councillor Maher, Vice Mayor Simmons, Councillor Toomey

WHEREAS: The City Council has talked with City staff in the past about tagging broken park equipment with tags that indicated that the broken equipment has been noted, that the equipment is in the queue to be fixed and, possibly, when repairs might be expected; and

WHEREAS: Such tagging of issues awaiting City action could be expanded to things such as removing graffiti on City property, addressing sidewalk dangers and other, similar issues; and

WHEREAS: Such tagging does not seem to be done at this point on anything in the public sphere; and

WHEREAS: Such tagging would allow people to know in real time, when they see a problem, that the issue is being addressed; now therefore be it

ORDERED: That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to confer with the relevant City staff and report back to the City Council on what steps the City will take to help the general public keep track of awaited maintenance issues on things like park equipment, graffiti, sidewalks and so forth.
