the residents don't own. City Administrator Olson, City Attorney Orr, and Alderman Colosimo discussed
this issue.

fair share of that land.Alderman Funkhouser and Alderman Colosimo discussed this issue further.Mayor
Golinski asked Alderman Colosimo if citizens don't maintain the parkways then is he proposing that the
City maintains all the parkways.Alderman Colosimo restated his issue. Alderman Funkhouser stated that
the City requires citizens to maintain a certain curb appeal to properties. If citizens do not do this,then
there will be fines. Alderman Colosimo stated he can accept that due to building codes and requirements.

maintain the parkways.Alderman Colosimo has a problem with government mandating this. Alderman
Teeling understands what Alderman Colosimo is saying.Alderman Colosimo wanted to hear what the
other aldermen think.Alderman Milschewski asked if the City is having a problem with this. City
