VISITORS
Ms Tracy Chilson, 4012 West Agate Street, and Mr Joe Hurley, 4004 West
Pearl Street, presented letters of protest for LID No 132 to Council
Mr Hurley disagreed with the annexation of his area and felt citizens
should have been asked if they wanted annexation He also felt a portion of
property taxes should go into a fund to pay for a sewer line into the area and
homeowners could pay a fee to hook up to the system when they needed to
Mr Crutchfield explained that sewer lines are put in and paid for through
user fees not out of the General Fund, which is where property taxes
collected are placed
Mr Dan Snook, of 1816 Road 42, explained that he had opposed being
annexed into the City and he was not satisfied with the City services he
has received so far Mr Snook was also opposed to the LID
Mr Crutchfield offered to meet with Mr Snook to discuss specific
circumstances to avoid unspecific complaints and generalities
Ms Francik explained that she had promoted the idea of annexation to her
neighbors primarily because in her neighborhood sewer services were really
needed Ms Francik has also been impressed with Council's and staff's
frugality to the point they were able to lower property taxes 3%
REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES AND/OR OFFICERS
Ms Francik reported that she toured local parks with the Parks and
Recreation Board and was impressed with how well they were maintained
