Rex Gregor, 2592 Holy Name Dr. stated that he had taken a traffic count on Friday, Feb- ruary 13th from 7:00 A.M. to 8:30 A.M. and had counted 37 cars, three of them local people, plus 16 trucks.

Glenn Cook stated that footage would only be charged to owners on HOly Name Dr. William Rudolph, 275 Lakeview Rd., asked how HOly Name Church would be assessed. Glenn Cook stated that he would recommend one unit and footage on both side of Holy Name Dr.but not property near the lake. Robert Raskob, 2295 Holy Name Dr., as a trustee for Holy Name Church, asked if church property could be assessed. Ron Batty stated that StateStatutes allow for assessing a church. Kathleen Hansmann, 2282 Holy Name Dr., asked if other alternatives to blacktop could be used, such as black magic.

Mrs. Hansmann stated that the substance is the same as the material found in blacktop. Jim Dillman stated that Corcoran and Hassan have discontinued use and that the Federal laws may prohibit its use. Jim Olson, 2165 Holy Name Dr. stated that he appreciated the speed limit being lowered; he did not want the trees in his front yard removed and although he favors the project he believed the assessment should allow for outsiders use of the road.

Rd. 116.; faster, unsafe traffic; thru traffic for commuters. Rochie Begin, 2595 Holy Name Dr., asked if his 110 ft. lot would be considered a unit. Glenn Cook stated that each property would be checked and if not buildable would not be assessed. Jim Olson asked if Medina Rd. could be left as -is and not blacktopped so there would not be a thru-way. Tom Baer, 2455 Holy Name Dr., asked if driveways could be blacktopped to the roadway. Kathleen Hansmann asked if there would be a show of hands,for and against the project. Thomas Anderson stated that it had been done during the informational meeting in 1986. Robert Raskob asked if Council believed this to be a fair way of constructing roads as those on Hwy. 55 and Co. Rd. 24 would never be assessed and yet they use the roads, consequently, the cost should be taken from the General Fund. Thomas Anderson stated that a general referendum would never pass. He stated that Council would decide how the project would be assessed, these were suggestions made by the City Engineer. Rex Gregor stated that the intent of the law for road assessments was not meant for thorofares and that the assessment ratio should be based on the amount of local traffic versus thru traffic.

Pat Raskob stated that if there was a vote taken each unit should have a vote.

Regarding assessing properties, he explained that wide assessment areas are taken so as to assess the most properties as possible. He stated that he beleived that the majority of the residents had wanted the improvement, based on the vote taken at the informational meeting and that with the cities present program it will be 5 to 6 years before blacktopping of Holy Name Dr. would be reconsidered. Anne Theis stated that she was concerned about the cities liability should something happen to someone on a recreational trail. Donna Roehl stated that the insurance company had been asked that question and would be responding. Thomas Anderson stated that the assessment policy could be reviewed and changed if necessary.

Thomas Anderson stated that Lakeview Rd. is not a thru street. Robin Kirby, 345 Lakeview Rd., stated that he was in favor of the project. Tom Gregor, 365 Lakevew Rd., stated that according to his calculations the cost would be $35.00 per foot. Glenn Cook stated that assessments could be equalized.

Anne Theis stated that if those footage figures are correct then a $4000 assessment on Holy Name Dr. and a $5000 assessment on Lakeview Rd. do not make sense.
