Pyper’s Diapers needs help Ken Palmer kpalmer@lsj.com

WILLIAMSTON - A city resident who started a diaper drive for local mothers in need said she’s having trouble meeting demand and needs more help. “I didn’t realize there was such a need (for diapers) in Williamston,” Sandy Whelton said. “I’m going out every weekend and spending $50 or $60 of my own money to get diapers for these people. But I can’t do that forever.”

Whelton launched “Pyper’s Diapers” after encountering a young mother at a grocery store who had to forego other basic items to buy diapers. She planned to use donations to buy diapers and distribute them through the Williamston Food Bank. Problem is, the donations haven’t come close to meeting the demand, she said. “I can only do so much,” she said. Whelton asks that donations be sent or dropped off at her home, 428 Mill St., Williamston, 48895. “Please help,” she said.

Playmakers run honors, aids Special Olympics Autumn Classic takes place Sept. 25 at Lake Lansing Park North Will Kangas wkangas@lsj.com

HASLETT – This year’s Playmakers Autumn Classic will not only donate its proceeds to the Special Olympics, but it will also feature a special Dimondale resident. Elizabeth Viele was named the “Special Olympics Michigan 2011 Inspirational Athlete of the Year” in June at the 2011 Special Olympics State Summer Games. During closing ceremonies of the games at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, Viele received the award in front of her family, friends and about 2,500 other athletes. Sunday, Sept. 25, over 700 athletes are expected to attend the Autumn Classic 8k at Lake Lansing Park – North and Viele will be a special guest. Before the race, Viele will share the oath of the Special Olympian to open the race. The oath is: “Let me win; but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Viele will compete as well. “We are so excited to have her at the Autumn Classic,” Playmakers spokesperson Alicia Armstrong said.

REGISTER TO RUN Register online at www.playmakers.com or mail to Playmakers 2299 W. Grand River, Okemos. The entry fee is $25 through Sept. 19; $30 through Sept. 20-24 and $35 on race day. The event will take place Sunday, Sept. 25, with the 8K race and one and two mile walks getting started at 9 a.m. and fun for kids at 8:45 a.m. Call (517) 349-3803 or (517) 887-1175 for more information.

“To have a local athlete get recognized for such a great accomplishment and then be able to compete in our event is wonderful.” Special Olympics representatives said Viele won the award this year because of her ability to inspire others as well as herself. “Elizabeth always tries her very best and when things do not go her way, she maintains a very positive attitude,” Special Olympics local director Ann Goudie said. “Elizabeth is always the first to praise a fellow athlete. She volunteers to help with Special Olympics Michigan events and is always willing to go the extra mile to support her fellow athletes and coaches,” Goudie said. With 13 years of involvement with the Special Olympics, Viele works

with the area management team as a global messenger, hence the message she will help bring to the Autumn Classic. Viele is an “all-around” athlete and also competes in basketball, gymnastics, softball, poly hockey and cross country skiing. Viele will also have the honor of running the last leg of the torch run into Kelly/Shorts Stadium at CMU to light the Flame of Hope at the 2012 Special Olympic State Summer Games Opening Ceremonies next year.

Beautiful scenery Armstrong said the classic has always been a favorite race of hers because of the scenery. “The athletes get to race around the lake between both north and south parks,” Armstrong said. “This is beautiful scenery. The sun shines through the trees so that it seems to sparkle.” She said new this year, the race will welcome teams, and even have separate awards for the teams like “fastest” and “most spirited.” “We thought adding a team possibility will help with the overall attendance and help make the run even more fun,” Armstrong said. Armstrong said the race really is for everyone, and includes a kid 50-yard dash a half hour prior to the Runners turn the corner at the 2010 Playmakers Autumn 9 a.m. start time. To register by Sept.

Armed with a shotgun, the homeowner chased suspects who were trying to steal scrap metal from an out-building, according to a city police report. But the suspects were gone when the officers arrived, and the victim was unable to provide a description of them or their vehicle, the report said.

Wolter’s work featured at EL library WILLIAMSTON — If you had some sort of aesthetic emergency in Williamston Sept. 11, you’d have had a challenge to find an artist in town. Many members of Williamston’s substantial art community were at the East Lansing Public Library that afternoon to celebrate the work of their friend and colleague Dianne Wolter. The show Recent Paintings will continue in the North Foyer Gallery through Sept. 29. Wolter taught art classes

in her Riverside Street studio to dozens of Williamston children over the years. Several of her young charges grew up to be renowned artists, but all of them learned to appreciate the beauty and power of art and to express their own visions of the world in paint or other media. At the artist reception at the East Lansing Public Library, some of Wolter’s former students brought their own children to see their teacher’s work. The

Sun Theatre

works are often multimedia and are, according to Wolter, “often playful, sometimes nostalgic, and on occasion, unsettling.” Wolter turned to her “personal iconography (of) toys, children, pets, family and friends … (to) infuse life and stories into experiences and memories that hold power.” Almost all of the pieces in the show feature dogs guarding children, napping, or otherwise interacting with people or objects.

The work began while Wolter and her husband and fellow artist Karl Wolter were visiting artists at an artist ranch in Arizona. “The ranch dogs were many, and they wandered in and out of my studio at will. They kept me company, on occasion napping in my studio while I worked.” East Lansing Public Library is located at 950 Abbott Road. The North Foyer Gallery is open during regular library hours.

Fall Home Improvement Is D-I-Y a recipe for saving money overall? Many homeowners or renters wrestle with the question of whether to tackle a project as a do-it-yourself venture to save some money or simply leave it to a professional. Each situation is unique, but there are certain factors that must be considered regardless of a homeowner’s particular situation. On the surface, a DIY task can seem a very good way to save some money. After all, a large percentage, sometimes as much as 50 percent, of the cost of hiring a contractor goes toward labor. For a DIY job with no such costs, the final financial tally can be substantially less. Although labor can be expensive, that cost is often justified. People who hire carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and the like are paying for the workers’ experience. They’re also paying with the expectation that the job will be done correctly. With jobs that require a building permit or must be done to specific code, the contractor often puts his reputation on the line and will be held

Installing a new deck may be a project best left to the professionals because of the skill level required. FILE PHOTO accountable if the work doesn’t meet requirements. That isn’t to say an untrained individual can’t tackle a specific job around the house. There are some guidelines that may make such projects go more smoothly and, as a result, more affordable. • Read up and learn as much as you can about the particular

work to be done. It’s easier to make mistakes if you do not know where to start. • Talk to others who have also done the work. They may have some tips or advice that can save you time and money. You may also want to ask if they can help and show you the ropes. • Be sure to obtain all neces-

sary permits before starting any work. Don’t risk a fine for doing work without permits or having work inspected. • When applying for permits, find out if there is a list of codespecific requirements that you can follow -- a cheat-sheet of sorts. It may list rated materials required and any techniques. See if you can speak to an inspector who will be visiting your property later on to find out what he or she looks for specifically. • You must feel confident with the endeavor. If you are unsure about anything, you may risk injury or make a significant mistake and be forced to hire someone to clean up your mess. • Consider reputable sources for information. While it’s easy to go online and scour message boards for pointers on certain tasks, not all of the information is accurate. Trust only content from sources that are licensed or backed by certification in a certain area. These things being said, there are a number of DIY projects that

regular people can try. Starting off small and building up as skills are developed are good ways to begin. For example: • Tile a small kitchen backsplash before tackling an entire bathroom shower enclosure or floor. • Build an outdoor potting stand before attempting furniture or cabinetry work in a main room of the house. • Change out a ceiling fan or lighting fixture before re-running electrical lines through the home. • Succeed in repairing a leaky drain pipe before taking on a more advanced plumbing issue. • Use regular painting techniques first before experimenting with a trendy faux finish or plaster application. There are many different things individuals can do themselves that stretch beyond routine home maintenance. From manicures to pool upkeep, the potential to save money when budgets are tight can be a powerful motivator.

Ways to ready your home to withstand harsh winter weather insulation. Such joists won’t be visible in an adequately insulated attic. Put up the storm windows. It’s nice to open the windows in the spring and summer and let the warm air waft in through the screens. But when summer is over, it’s time to put up the storm windows once again. Storm windows add an extra layer of protection from the elements and are especially valuable in homes with single-pane glass windows. Homeowners who don’t have storm windows should consider upgrading their existing windows. Such a project isn’t cheap, but newer windows will almost certainly lead to lower heating costs, meaning the project will essentially pay for itself over time. Homeowners who can’t afford to replace all of their windows don’t have to replace them all at once. Instead, replace them a few at a time and make the

rooms where you spend the most time each winter the first on the list to receive new windows. Be diligent with the gutters. Leaves falling from trees is an idyllic image associated primarily with autumn. Unfortunately, when leaves fall they often fall into the gutters. Routinely clean the gutters once the leaves start to fall. Clean gutters will allow snow and rain to effectively drain through the gutters. If the gutters are clogged, snow might have nowhere to go when it begins to melt, and roof damage might result. Such damage is costly but preventable in most instances. One of the easier preventive measures to take is to routinely clean the gutters of leaves and other debris that accumulate during the fall. When cleaning the gutters, make sure they are properly aligned. Poorly aligned gutters can lead to a host of problems.

One such problem is flooding. If downspouts are not properly aligned with the rest of the gutters, then water might not be directed away from the home as it’s intended. Instead, water might be directed toward the home, resulting in flooding or additional water damage. Have the furnace cleaned. Experts recommend annual furnace cleanings. Before cold weather arrives, turn the furnace on to make sure it’s still working. An unpleasant odor should appear when first turning on the furnace, but it shouldn’t last very long. If the odor sticks around, turn the furnace off and call a professional. Once winter arrives, routinely replace the filters. This makes the furnace operate more efficiently and can also reduce the risk of fire.

their disposal to plug leaks, be it door sweeps that block air from entering under exterior doors to caulk applied around leaky windows. When using caulk outdoors, be sure to use a weatherresistant caulk or, if sealing brick, use masonry sealer. Add insulation upstairs. Homeowners who have an attic in their homes might want to consider adding some insulation up there. Experts recommend a minimum of 12 inches of insulation in the attic. That might prove costly, but a poorly insulated attic is akin to opening the front door and letting the heat out. It might be best for less-thanhandy homeowners to hire a professional to insulate the attic. But do-it-yourselfers might find it good to know that if the ceiling joists, which are often 11 inches or less, are visible, then the attic is in need of additional

FALL HOME IMPROVEMENT 2011

As autumn arrives, homeowners can take several steps to get their homes ready for whatever winter has to offer with the following tasks. Fix the leaks. A leaky home will prove an expensive home during the winter months. A home with many leaks will be much colder to inhabit, and homeowners typically turn up the heat to counter drafts that can make a home feel like a meat locker. But turning up the thermostat isn’t the answer. Instead, fix leaks in the fall before the cold weather arrives. Leaks should not be very hard to find. On the first breezy autumn afternoon, walk around the house in search of any drafty areas. These drafts will be noticeable and often occur around doors and window frames, electrical outlets and even recessed lighting. Homeowners have a host of options at

Things to consider when budgeting your home improvement Home improvement projects have become de rigueur for today’s homeowners. Be it a kitchen remodel or the ever popular man cave project, home improvement projects remain a goal for many. As enticing as a home improvement project might be, no project can be successful until a budget has been established. The right budget will keep homeowners from going deep into debt when improving their homes, ensuring that, upon the project’s completion, they can fully enjoy their revamped castles without the specter of significant debt hanging ominously over their heads. Before beginning a home improvement project, homeowners can take the following things into consideration.

Credit score: Before beginning a home improvement projects, homeowners should construct a budget to ensure the project is a success. FILE PHOTO

Many homeowners finance home improvement projects with loans from the bank. Particularly in the current economy when banks are being forced to tighten lending requirements, securing such loans isn’t easy. Homeowners with significant credit card debt should eliminate such debt before beginning a project. Doing so serves multiple purposes. First and foremost, eliminating outstanding debt will free up more money to allocate toward the project. Eliminating debt will also make loan applicants more attractive to prospective creditors, increasing their chances of securing a loan and a lower interest rate.

When the comparison between monthly expenses and monthly income has been made, Project’s priority: homeowners can get a grasp Budgeting a home of just what they can and improvement project also cannot afford. involves being honest as

homeowners should examine their finances before starting a home improvement project. Just because a bank will loan out money for a project doesn’t mean the project is affordable. Homeowners should compare their monthly expenses with their Personal finances: incomes, and then deterIt sounds simple, but mine what’s left that might

to just how necessary the project is. For example, a man cave might be a dream project, but should it be a priority over other things around the house? If wear and tear is taking its toll on the roof, for instance, the money going toward the man cave should probably be allocated to replacing the roof instead. If a project is low on the priority list but high on the want list, re-examine those projects higher up on the priority list to determine if they are more deserving of immediate attention and funds than vanity projects.

Overrun costs: Not every home improvement project will come in at or under budget. Many go over budget due to a host of factors. Homeowners should not be caught off guard when a project goes over budget. Instead, plan for the project to go over and expect such frustration. Allocate extra money in the original budget for overrun costs. This will reduce stress and frustration, and if the project comes in under budget, then there’s extra money when the project is completed.

Fall lawn care, winter growth Warm-weather days will soon be a thing of the past and that means prepping the home and landscape for the arrival of winter weather. Even though it may be blanketed first by leaves and snow, lawns need treatment now to be sure they overwinter successfully. In fact, lawn experts say there is significant root growth that takes place during the winter -growth homeowners won’t necessarily see. People should continue to water their lawns throughout the autumn if there isn’t significant rain and to aerate it as well. Applying a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen can help foster strong root growth. Also, keep up on removing leaves that have fallen. Not only will they stifle the lawn, but they may cause excessive moisture and mold to grow while inhibiting sunlight from reaching the grass as well. Before winter arrives, take the time to sow some grass seeds into the bald patches.

At times homeowners are unsure about High capacity pleated filwhether they need to use primer or if just paint will do the trick. Although there are no firm rules, there are certain cases where one or the other will be adequate. Consider a room where the walls have been heavily stained, either by moisture infiltration, rust or another factor. Deep-set stains may bleed through regular paint, therefore a primer should be applied. There also are specialized primers that can be used in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms that often contain a lot of moisture. These primers inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on painted surfaces. If a room is only to be painted white or tinted slightly with color, then a primer alone can be used. Rooms that are being painted that are already white and free of stains or other surface abnormalities may be painted sufficiently with just a coat of regular paint. If skipping primer, look for a high-quality, thick paint that boasts good coverage in one or two coats. There are new products today that offer primer and paint all in one combination. The jury is still out on the efficacy of these new items, but homeowners can experiment with these paints to see if they work for them.

WILLIAMSTON — Williamston’s Amanda Dimmer has been added to the US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program 1996/U-16 Michigan Pool Team. Dimmer is among 30 of the top players in the Michigan Association at this age involved in the program. Dimmer plays midfield locally for the TNT Dynamite Soccer Club and Williamston High School. Her U-15 club team plays in the Midwest Regional League against teams from throughout the midwest, and the team now has placed nine players on Michigan ODP rosters. Dimmer was most recently named the MVP at the Williamston Soccer Shootout, leading her high school JV team to victory in the championship game over Frankenmuth.

Dimmer is a sophomore at WHS where she also competes at the varsity level for the school’s competitive cheer team. The US Youth Soccer ODP was formed in 1977 to identify a pool of players in each age group from which a National Team would be selected for international competition. The US Youth Soccer ODP provides high-level training to benefit and enhance the development of players at all levels and, through the use of carefully selected and licensed coaches, develops a mechanism for the exchange of ideas and curriculum to improve all levels of coaching. From 1982 until the present, international events for youth national teams have increased substantially and the US Youth Soccer ODP has kept pace

by instituting trials and player pools for five age groups in the boys’ program, and five age groups in the girls’ program. Each state association holds US Youth Soccer ODP try-outs on an annual basis, conducted by state association coaches who are recognized for their ability to identify and train players with superior skills. Players are evaluated on four major components that make up a soccer player: technique, tactics, fitness and a psychological component or attitude. US Youth Soccer ODP, designed to identify and develop a pool of players from which U.S. National Teams may be selected, is the original Olympic Development Program. US Youth Soccer ODP is the only elite player development program that can

claim members of Major League Soccer and the former Women’s United Soccer Association, as well as a majority of current and past national and youth team members, as alumni. US Youth Soccer ODP continues to lead the way in elite player’s identification and development with programs in all 55 State Association, which partcipate in international tournaments as well as regional and national championships.

The Hornets may be a week behind everyone else heading into the fifth week of the football season, but coach Steve Kersten thinks his team is exactly where they need to be. When Williamston heads to Portland next Friday, it will mark only the fourth game for the Hornets, following a bye during the second week of the season. “I think looking back we kept saying that we needed to find a week-two game,” Kersten said. “But having such an inexperienced team, it’s been a very positive thing to improve and focus on our own corrections as opposed to preparing for another team.” The Hornets defeated Lakewood 32-14 Sept. 9, bouncing back from a rough 44-28 loss to Ithaca in week one. “We did have improvement,” Kersten said. “We started out slow, and I think that was really just from not having a second game. Our kids really played well.

COME

“I wish we could go back and play Ithaca again with a few notches under our belt.” Having graduated a talented class that lead Williamston to a state final run last year, the Hornets are rebuilding but hoping to prove they are just as much a threat as they were last season. “We are inexperienced and the fact that all the kids were seniors last year, the juniors didn’t get a lot of playing time,” Kersten said. “We are hoping inexperience turns into experience as the season continues.” Senior quarterback John Westphal threw for 237 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Hornets. Junior Ray Duncan had six receptions for 117 yards and two touchdowns while senior all-league linebacker Nick Porter paced the Williamston ground attack with 134 yards on 17 carries. Duncan and Porter both scored a touchdown in Williamston’s loss to Ithaca on Aug 25. “(John Westphal) has done a tremendous job at throw-

ing the football,” Kersten said. “When he’s on, he does not miss and we have a lot of receivers that have done a great job and we’ve been impressed. Nick Porter has done a great job with our running game and our O line is really stepping up.” Kersten awarded Andy Hicks top offensive lineman after the victory over Lakewood. Carter Bastien was named the special teams champ following two big tackles. The Hornets will face arguably their toughest competition in the next two weeks. After traveling to Portland, Williamston will host Lansing Catholic on Sept. 30. “We are just going to play one game at a time,” Kersten said after the win against Lakewood. “We have some seniors that have been there and the ceiling has been raised. The expectations are higher and they are figuring out how to respond. We are still only two games in we have some stuff to improve on.”

ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 50 OF THE WILLIAMSTON CODE OF ORDINANCES The City of Williamston ordains: Section 1. Chapter 50, STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES, of the City of Williamston Code of Ordinances, is hereby amended, to add a new Article V, entitled Construction, Reconstruction and Repair of Sidewalks, to read as follows: ARTICLE V.

(2) The association of homeowners or condominium owners having the responsibility for the maintenance and repair of common areas of a residential development. (3) The person in the process of developing property for residential use. Person. Any individual or individuals, partnership, association, corporation or other legal entity. Right-of-way.The entire portion of land between property lines, including any street, roadway, highway or alley located therein. Sidewalk. Any concrete or bituminous walkway, or walkway of other materials constructed in the public right-of-way, including walks and ramps leading to a crosswalk, and designed particularly for pedestrian travel. Sec. 50-123. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to ensure compliance with PA 170 of 1964, as amended (Governmental Liability For Negligence, MCL 691.1402(1)), which provides that each govern mental agency having jurisdiction over a highway shall maintain the highway in reasonable repair so that it is reasonably safe and convenient for public travel, including the maintenance of sidewalks. Sec. 50-124. Powers of the City Regarding Improvements; Assessments. The City Council may, by resolution, order the construction of new sidewalks in any street or public right-of-way within the City of Williamston. The Superintendent of the Department of Public Works of the City of Williamston may order the reconstruction or repair of any existing sidewalk in any street or public right-of-way within the City of Williamston in order to protect the public. The City Manager may order that the whole or some portion of the expense of any such improvement shall be borne by the owners of adjacent parcels of land. In such case, the procedure to be used to assess the cost of such improvements shall be as set forth in this ordinance. Sec. 50-125. Notification. If a property owner is liable, either in whole or in part, for the construction, reconstruction or repair of a sidewalk under this ordinance, the City shall notify, by first class mail, the owner of the property abutting the improvement of the necessity to construct, reconstruct or repair such sidewalk within thirty (30) days from the date of issuance of such notice. Included in such notification will be a payment election form. Sec. 50-126. Construction by Property Owner. If the property owner elects to construct, reconstruct or repair the sidewalk at the owner’s own expense, the City Clerk shall be notified accordingly by the owner within ten (10) days and such construction, reconstruction or repair shall be completed in accordance with the sidewalk specifications stated in the City’s Municipal Standards, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice. The property owner shall pay the City inspection fee as established by resolution of City Council. In the event the property owner undertakes the reconstruction or repair of the sidewalk at the owner’s own expense, and the City Manager determines that the City is responsible for a portion of the cost, the City shall reimburse the property owner for that portion. Sec. 50-127. Construction by City. If the property owner is liable, either in whole or in part, for the construction, reconstruction or repair of a sidewalk and does not elect to construct, reconstruct or repair the sidewalk, or fails to complete the construction, reconstruction or repair within a thirty (30) day period of notification, the City may perform the construction, reconstruction or repair. The expense thereof shall, in whole or in part, be charged to the owner of the property. Sec. 50-128. Emergency Repair. If the Superintendent of the Department of Public Works determines that the condition of any existing sidewalk is such that immediate repair is necessary to protect the public, the Superintendent shall immediately proceed to repair the same without notice to the owner of the property abutting thereon or adjacent thereto. The cost of such emergency repairs shall, in whole or in part, be charged to the property owner unless it is determined by the City Manager that the property owner is not liable for any costs. Sec. 50-129. Responsibilities of Contractors; Bonds. Every contractor constructing public sidewalks either by contract with the City or with a property owner shall construct such sidewalks in accordance with the specifications stated in the City’s Municipal Standards, and shall guarantee such construction against defective workmanship, material or construction for three (3) years from the time such sidewalk is constructed. Every such contractor shall enter into and provide a bond to the City, conditional on the faithful performance of his contract and compliance with this ordinance. Sec. 50-130. Division of Costs. (a) If the City shall cause a new sidewalk to be constructed (other than for new residential developments or commercial site plans in which all costs are borne by the developer), the expense of such construction, including all costs of departmental administration attributable to the sidewalk construction project, shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the abutting property owner and fifty percent (50%) by the City. (b) If the City shall cause an existing sidewalk to be reconstructed or repaired, the expense of such reconstruction or repair, including all costs of departmental administration attributable to the sidewalk reconstruction or repair, shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the abutting property owner and fifty percent (50%) by the City, except in those instances set forth in Section 50-131. (c) In the event that the sidewalk construction, reconstruction or repair affects more than one property, the cost shall be distributed on a pro rata share basis that the square foot age of the sidewalk in front of or adjacent to each property bears to the square footage of the whole project. Sec. 50-131. Liability for Total Costs. The abutting property owner shall pay for all the cost of reconstruction or repair of an existing sidewalk, including a City inspection fee as established by resolution of City Council, under the following conditions: (a) Where the sidewalk has been either willfully or accidentally broken or damaged through the fault or negligence of the property owner, or the owner’s tenant, guest or agent. (b) Where the property owner elects to reconstruct or repair the sidewalk and the City has not determined that the reconstruction or repair is necessary. (c) For service sidewalks which provide access to abutting properties. Such service sidewalks are generally at right-angles to the main public sidewalk and are not intended for use by the general public. The abutting property owner will not be liable for any portion of the cost of reconstruction or repair in those instances where the City Manager determines that the responsibility for replacement or repair rests with the City or with a party other than the property owner. Sec. 50-132. Payment of Cost. If a property owner is liable, either in whole or in part, for the construction, reconstruction or repair of a sidewalk under this ordinance, a payment election form shall be provided as part of the notification of the necessity for such improvements. In the event of an emergency repair, the property owner shall be sent a payment election form by first class mail on the first business day after the emergency repair is performed. The property owner may elect to make full payment to the City within thirty (30) days of the notification, or may request that such costs be paid by single lot assessment on the property. If the property owner fails to complete the payment election form, the costs for the improvement shall automatically become a lien on the property. Sec. 50-133. Single Lot Assessment. If the property owner elects to pay for the costs of sidewalk construction, reconstruction or repair through a single lot assessment, the City Treasurer shall establish the assessment in accordance with the City Ordinances and Charter. The costs shall be distributed in not more than five (5) payments, and an interest charge of 6.5% shall be applied to cover administrative costs. Sec. 50-134. Authority to Make Improvements and Levy Assessments. The City Council may, in accordance with the City Charter, cause to be constructed new sidewalks within the City and, where such public improvement is of such a nature as to benefit especially any property or properties within a district, Council may determine, by resolution, that the whole or any part of the expense of such improvement shall be defrayed by special assessment upon the property in the district especially benefitted. In the event that Council establishes a special assessment district, notice shall be given to all affected property owners in accordance with PA 162 of 1962, as amended (Notice of Special Assessment Hearings, MCL 211.741 et seq), and the City Treasurer shall establish the special assessment district in accordance with the City Ordinances and Charter. Sec. 50-135. Sidewalk Maintenance. All sidewalks within the City shall be kept and maintained in good repair by the owner of the land adjacent to and abutting upon the same. This includes maintaining a clear passage area, defined as a space extending horizontally one (1) foot on either side of the sidewalk (except where the sidewalk is immediately adjacent to a building or structure), and extending vertically to a height of eight (8) feet, to be kept clear of vegetation and other obstructions. If any owner of property shall neglect to keep and maintain the sidewalk or any walks and ramps leading to a crosswalk along the front, rear, or side of the property in good repair and safe for the use of the public, the owner shall be liable to the City for any damages recovered against the City sustained by any person by reason of the sidewalk being unsafe or in disrepair. Sec. 50-136. Appeals. An owner or person in control of property who feels aggrieved by any determination or order of the City Manager may, within 30 days from the date the determination or order is made, make an appeal of such determination or order to the City Council. The City Council shall set a time and place for consideration of the appeal, provide notice of the time and place to the applicant, and thereafter make a determination as to the appeal. Section 2. Repealer Clause. Any ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed only to the extent necessary to give this Ordinance full force and effect. Section 3. Savings Clause. This ordinance shall in no manner affect pending litigation, either civil or criminal, founded or growing out of any ordinance, resolution, order or parts thereof, hereby repealed; and this ordinance shall in no manner affect any rights, claims, privileges, immunities or causes of action of the City or other person, either criminal or civ il, that may have already occurred, accrued or grown out of any ordinance, resolution, order or policy, or any part thereof, hereby repealed. Section 4. Validity and Severability. Should any portion of this Ordinance be found invalid for any reason, such a holding shall not be construed as affecting the validity of the remaining portions of the Ordinance. Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be effective fifteen (15) days from and after its adoption by the City of Williamston City Council and after its publication.
