[Vision2020] Contractors

[Janesta]

In Couer d' Alene, if the walks aren't cleared by 9:00 am, and kept clear,
the city will do it, and fine the property owner $100.00. If the fine isn't
paid, it is attached as a lien on their property.

Put the kids on probation to work. It is a tangible way to know they have
completed the job. If the snow hasn't been removed, the job isn't done.

I respectfully disagree with you, Matt. The buck stops with the owner of the
property. Why should I get injured due to the neglance of a property owner?
Taking care of the sidewalks is part of the responsibility of being a
property owner.

Also, Matt, I appreciate your gracious offer to shovel my walks last week...
*smile* I don't have any sidewalks, other than a short three foot walk to
the gravel alley.
