Wishing to be heard was John Vieths of 221.2 5th Avenue S. W. and he was opposed to this assessment. He stated that his assessment is higher than.any other neighbor and he had an assessment on another watermain a couple of years ago that was lower then this one and the project was larger. Roger Plumb, Public Services Director stated that the reason for the difference in charges is due to the bidding process. One contractor can do the job for a different price as another and the City has a policy to take the low bid for a job and assessments are figured accordingly on a front foot basis. Wishing to be heard in opposition was Mr. Emil Heinz and agrees with Mr. Vieths. Wishing to be heard was Rev. Scott Emerson of 306 21st St. S. W. and is Pastor of the Open Bible Church.

W. and wondered how much they were paying per front foot. Roger Plumb stated $69.00 per foot. Wishing to be heard was Verna Distad of 301 23rd St. S. W. and stated that contractors wasted time and stated that if this was corrected the contractor could do the job for less money and they citizens would not have to pay as much. Wishing to be heard was Steven Kragh of 2204 3rd Avenue S. W. and was concerned about the communication between the contractor and the people living in the area of the project. He stated that many times he was not informed that the street would be closed and blasting being taken place in front of his home and cars. He stated that he was willing to cooperat( but they would have liked to have known when the events were taken pl.ace. Wishing to be heard again was John Vieths of 2212 5th Avenue S. W. and wondered if the streets would be dug up again if another area near by is developed. He stated for the last three years the streets were dug up and impossible to drive on. He also stated that when he came into the City his taxes went up 60% and he thinks it was very expensive to come into the City. He is still opposed to the assessments and the methods.of calculating them. Having no one else present that wished to be heard, President Postier closed the hearing.

Roger Plumb explained the procedures and stated that when an area is annexed late in the year, it is difficult to get the improvements in the area and some- times these projects go into a two year period and thus cause more problems to the owners in the area.
