Councilmember Zimmerman stated that he wants to make sure that the costs the City charges the contractor is higher than what they could do the work for to encourage them to do the work. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he was presuming that the fees would be collected to cover any damage that would not be apparent initially. He did not feel that the fees would be used to cover the case where a contractor does a terrible job and breaks up a driveway and then walks away because they paid their $20.00. Consensus of the Committee was to direct staff to research the actual cost of replacing driveways both bituminous and concrete and report back to the Committee.
