Robert Etem, 2705 Willow Dr., stated that dust is the greatest problem. He asked if subsequent oiling would be assessed against property owners. He also asked if construction of Co.Rd. 116 would change the plans Thomas Anderson explained that any paving would take traffic away for paving of Willow Dr. from city roads. John Bonner, 2552 Co.

Glenn Cook stated that the cost would be approximately $130,000. Richard Goelz, 2325 Hamel Rd., stated that he favored dust control because there will be less traffic on the road after Co. Rd. 116 is completed, so less need for an im- proved blacktopped street. Thomas Anderson explained that oil does not last as long as blacktop.

Sheldon Coplin stated that if oil is satisfactory and does not cost the residents any money, that is what should be done. Also if Terry Johnson is willing to pay for a good share of the paving, the affected property owners should have a meeting to discuss the matter.
