I feel that if you already have curb and gutter that you
should not be assessed for the reconstruction and I think there is support
on the council for this view. However you would be assessed for waterline
replacement on your property if you want it or if it is 60 years old or if it is
galvanized pipe. I also feel that if we go ahead with this program and
implement the $500,000.00 levy increase to fund it and down the line we go after
and get alternate funding such as a sales tax we should also get the opportunity
to vote on decreasing the levy by up to the $500,000.00 amount. This could
be accomplished by a vote of the people or by the vote of the city council with
required public hearings. I think there would be support on the council
for this view. I welcome your comments.---Jerry Miller
