Also, that because there were a number of homes at that end the cost of improvement would be minimized if that section was omitted. Mr. Allen said a storm sewer would be ~on- structed to connect to the existing storm sewer near Cameo. He added that another reason for recommending curb and sidewalk construction was because it was more costly to build a curb alone without sidewalk construction at the same time. Councilman Ilamel asked if assessment for sidewalk constructed on only one side of the street would be made to properties on both sides of the street. Hr. Allen ans\~ered that if the Council determined there was to be sidewalk on only one side, the charter pro- vides for assessment against properties on both sides. Vote was taken on the motion to improve the east side of Agate from Cameo south 1100 feet with curb. gutter, and side\~alk. Motion carried, Council members Murray, Williams, Hamel, Shirey, and Mayor Anderson voting aye; Council members Keller, Beal, Bradley, and Haws voting no. Mayor Anderson in breaking the tie vote said he felt it necessary to adhere to standard street construction in the city. He said all citizens should have the privilege of di-ving on streets that arc improved and drained, and walk on sidewalks, all paid for by abutting properties, as well as 118ving sewcrs and other improvements which enhance the cntire community. He expressed appreciation to those participating. He said he realizcd the decision was not popular blJt he thought a good working relationship had been demonstrated behlcen neighborhood groups.
