9. PUBLIC HEARING
There were no public hearings.
10. STAFF REPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a. BURLINGAME AVENUE SIDEWALK PAVERS CLEANLINESS
DPW Murtuza reviewed the staff report and advised that since the opening of the 1200 block of Burlingame
Avenue in September 2013, there has been an increased awareness of the cleanliness of the new pavers. He
said staff has responded to several complaints from the public regarding the stains and litter of the new
sidewalks and they have been power washed three times.
DPW Murtuza requested that Council review the suggested approach to the maintenance and upkeep of the
new Burlingame Avenue sidewalk pavers outlined in the staff report. The suggestions include power
washing the sidewalk pavers on a monthly basis and resealing the pavers on a bi-annual basis; perform spot
cleaning of the pavers following the power washing on a monthly basis; conduct outreach to the Burlingame
Avenue businesses/merchants asking for their cooperation in keeping their frontage sidewalks clean; and
install signage reminding the public to use trash bins and not to litter.
Council discussion followed and the Council questioned why the paver manufacturer did not advise that
these pavers would stain so easily. Program Manager Jane Gomery advised that she would contact the
manufacturer and ask them to provide an explanation and send us a letter. Council also would like to engage
the businesses in the cleaning process and suggested that citations should be issued if they fail to clean in
front of their establishments.
Council also expressed a desire to reword the letter to the businesses emphasizing the positive, thanking
them for contributing to the streetscape project, and encouraging them to keep it clean.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the item for public comment and Burlingame residents John Root, Jennifer Pfaff
and Donna Reese spoke.
Councilman Deal made a motion to approve the expenditure of funds, with a review in six months, and word
the signs to say something such as, keep Burlingame beautiful; seconded by Vice Mayor Nagel. The motion
was approved unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.
