I1 Is REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 8 1981 f, The next item of discussion was the street improvement for • boy. the residents of Hobbs Lane. Mike Bates had contacted the resi- 7F dents and asked them to participate and pay $2. 50 per front foot. Corliss Jones, 3434 Hobbs Lane, appeared on behalf of the residents of Hobbs Lane. He stated that Hobbs Lane has been in existence for over thirty years without curb and gutter. The street without curb and gutter suits their needs and has saved the city money by not curbing and guttering. The residents are z,v asking the Council to approve the proposal of asphalt overlay on Hobbs the street without curb and gutter and they would participate in the amount of $1.00 a front foot. Councilman Borgmeyer agreed with the residents that they do not need curb and gutter. However, he stated he could not vote for overlay without curb and gutter as other people in the city have been turned down. He feels it only fair that if they want overlay, they should pay $2. 50 a front foot. Councilman Hequembourg stated that on an ' other street in the city, if overlay work is done and there is already curb and gutter there, the residents are not charged. He does not feel the $1.00 charge is unreasonable as other streets in the city have been overlaid without charge. After further discussion, Councilman Hequembourg moved that Alternate 2 of Mike Bates' recommendation, being a 2 to 2 1/4" overlay at an estimated cost of $13, 800 , be approved with the residents paying $1. 00 a front foot.

" Councilman Hequembourg stated the Bill being voted on tonight contains amendments to the Bill originally introduced. These changes were outlined in a copy previously sent to the Council. Councilman Hequembourg moved that the amendments to the ordi- nance be accepted. Motion seconded by Councilman Scheulen and passed. Councilman Hequembourg pointed out changes in this bill which differ from the franchise ordinance United Telephone Company is currently operating under. The primary change in the City will no longer reimburse the telephone company for moving utilities. Also, on new construction, the telephone company must notify the city and present a plan of that new construction to the City. The City will than have an opportunity to voice any approval or opposition to the construction before it has begun. If, after construction begins, the City changes their plans and they have to relocate, the City would be responsible for reimbursement. The telephone company must also cooperate with the City and present a plan for undergrounding the downtown area. Tom Utterback stated another change is that Section 12 sets out an abridgement or termination of franchise. Also, Section 13 sets out in clearer detail the obligations of the telephone company should there be someone on our rights-of-way, using their poles, that do not have the proper authority to be there. Bill 81-29 , as amended, read third time by title, placed on final passage and was passed by the following vote as Ordinance No. 9666 : Councilmen voting Aye: Blume, Borgmeyer, Brant, Halsey, Hequembourg, Kliegel, Scheulen and Wade Councilmen voting Nay: None.
