He said it was the option of a property owner to call for grade when they were ready for it, but not the City's obligation to see it is used once it has been taken out. Mr. Obie said the reason he felt the assessment should be segregated for more discussionwas that new evidence had been presented, whether or not city procedures were used in building the apron. Vote was taken on the motion whi ch fai 1 ed two-thi rds vote, wi th Delay, Williams, Haws, and Hamel voting no; Obie, Smith, Bradley, and Lieuallen voting aye. Mr. Lieuallen expressed uncomfortableness with C.B. 1495, and would be voting no on the bill. Mr. Obie asked Council members if they had read minutes of the Assessment Panel hearing. He said Mr. Allen was saying on C.B. 1495 the City did not follow procedures.

Mr. Allen replied the City did spend a portion of that assessed amount which it had the legal right to spend. Ms. Smith questioned whether the City had any way to made an adustment. Mr. Allen said it was possible staff could correct the assessments on that portion of the right-of-way on the driveway.
