ROLL CALL: By Clerk's Representative. Councilmen present were: G.E. Carter, J.G. Bailey, R.L. Greenlee, Russell Wiseman, Fred Robinson, George Stork and Donald Cooper. Also present were: City Manager, City Attorney, Director of Administration and City Engineer. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Motion made by Cooper, seconded by Greenlee that the minutes of the Regular Council Meeting held August 1, 1967, be approved as written. Motion Carried. VISITORS: There were no visitors wishing to address the Council at this time. PUBLIC HEARING: MAYOR CARTER DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN ON FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR L.I.D. N0. 75 (IMPROVEMENT OF BROWN, MARIE, OCTAVE, HENRY & AURILIA STREETS): The City Manager reported the hearing had been properly published and posted. One (1) letter of protest was read from MR. & MRS. MORRIS CLARK, owners of Lots 11 and 12, Block 9, Sylvester's 2nd Addition, asking why front foot assessment was double original estimate. Mayor Carter answered that an Arterial Street assessment (abutting property owners) and an L.I.D: were two different methods of computation. On an Arterial Street Improvement, it is financed primarily by G.O. Bonds and Gas Tax Money with the balance being absorbed by tax payers. An L.I.D. project is financed exclusively by the property owner. The City Manager drew a diagram to further explain improvement projects. MR. SCHWARTZKOPF asked about payment of assessment to avoid high interest costs. Mr. Fisher informed him that he had thirty days to decide and pay his assessment without any interest; otherwise, they are computed on ten equal annual installments. MRS. MAURICE BROWN asked why there was a parking strip on her property at the corner of Brown and Aurilia, and if this would increase her assessment. She was informed parking strips were on Aurilia only and it would decrease her assessment. MRS. PEPICH inquired about difference in assessments when they were across the street from one another. Computations are figured on a zone and termini method and one side of the street has greater depth than the other. Mrs. Pepich also asked about the alley between Court and Brown being posted "No Parking" as property owners were unable to get through. The City Staff will look into this situation. MRS. MAURICE BROWN was concerned about dirt blowing across Aurilia from the school yard and building up along curbs. Mayor Carter stated he would talk to the school officials in an effort to alleviate this situation. HUGH OSBORNE commended the City and Engineering Staff for an outstanding job. At this point, the Director of Administration showed "Before" and "After" slides of the street improvement project. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Carter for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed.
