County will not pay for repairs to brick crosswalks in The Villages
As reported by a non-specific newspaper.
Interesting. I can hear the conversation that was had.
District: "Hey Mr. Sumter County Public Works Dept, we need a cross-walk repaired in Sumter Landing".
SC PWD: "No problem, we'll get to that next month. We're doing some paving in that area and will have some extra paving on the truck".
District: "Oh no, the cross-walk is made with brick pavers".
SC PWD: "Oh, that's too bad. We only repair roads with paving, we don't do brick work".
District: "Well, that's what's there now"?
SC PWD: "That's too bad. We own the roads now and we fix 'em as we see fit".
District: "No problem, we'll make a deal so we're responsible and charge our residents".
SC PWD: "Works for us, go for it".
Said and done.
