SPECIAL WORK SESSION
1. The special work session was called to order.
2. Discussion with City Council regarding creation of a Sidewalk Fund
Chairman Gibson explained that this is a fund for developers to pay into in order for the
City to install sidewalks at a later date, if needed. Developers would pay the current
industry rate and if the money is not used within ten years, the money would be refunded
to the developer minus the interest.
There was some concern that the ten year limit may have some effect on the timeline of
city projects. Others felt that the sidewalk fund would be a good idea for unique
situations in Friendswood and would start to eliminate the sidewalks to nowhere.
3. The meeting was adjourned at 7:34pm.
