'pavin?1.ionr~~-- from 28th south - Council members lookea at properties abutting the proposed paving project on which contract was awarded at the June 12 Council meeting, pending inspection of the si te. Manager reviewed the per- !centages of abutting properties signed for on the petition initiating the \ project. He said these percentages have no legal bearing on whether to pro- ceed, the Council has the right to make that decision. Copies of a letter !, continuing protest to the project were distributed, signed by Carl T. Sandell, I :790 West 28th; Daniel D. Mills, 810 West 28th; and L~ B. Smalley for Wesleyan Church, 2831 Friendly. Phone call was noted from Mrs. William Emery, 2885 Monroe Street, asking favorable consideration of the paving. . Councilman Hershner noted that it would appear from the letter that the --,.... balance of the property owners ,previously unexpressed, now say they oppose the project. Councilman Mohr explained that the percentages on the petition refer to lineal footage fronting on the project, not the numbers of persons owning property. Also, that the action taken at the June 12 Council meeting was to award the bid, pending inspection of the site, so that without action today that action will prevail. I Mrs. Bea1 called attention to the unusually high cost of the bid submitted in comparison to cost of other projects. She expressed concern for people on fixed income faced with assessments and higher property 'taxes levied against their property purchased many years ago. Mrs. Bea1 moved seconded by Mrs. Campbell to rescind action taken at the June 12, 1972 Council meeting and reject the bid for the paving of Monroe Street from 28th Avenue south. Mrs. Campbell asked whether any arrangements were discussed between the pro- testants and Mr. Emery with regard to sharing the cost on other than the . :assessment basis. Mr. Smalley expressed the feeling that whatever action is : taken today is final and no arrangement for financing other than meeting the assessment would have to be made. Discussion revolved around possibility of 'delaying the project with the idea of the neighborhood's working out finan- cial arrangements. Public Works Director explained the 30-day grace period on award of contracts and the 10% cushion between estimated and actual cost. 1,95 6/26/72 - 12
