VIII. PUBLIC HEARING:
A. LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 2, RIVERSIDE SUBDIVISION:

Kim Allen of Toothman-Orton Engineering, the project engineer for
the city, reviewed the proposed improvements to the water, sewer
and streets in the subdivision and the benefit formula proposed
for the district.

reported on the owner survey which had been completed as
requested by the Council. Clyde Archer appeared and opposed the

district as proposed; Jerry Holowitz who opposed the LID,
Dave Foster who felt the city should install the utility lines,
Duane Smith who favored the proposal. No other persons wished to
comment and the hearing was closed and the matter returned to the
Council table. The Council felt that the assessment was
significant and determined to delete the construction of the

water, sewer, 1/3 of the bikepath cost, the replatting, and
utility stubs from the project, and relocation of certain utility
poles as the project elements. LeBrett then moved to direct
