City Engineer Brown, summarized the proposed project, the discussions held at the neighborhood meetings, and his recommendations and costs. Mr. Boujeau, stated when he received the letter with the City's recommendations, he noted errors on the report. He stated there was no homeowner's association on these two cul-de-sacs and he did not understand this comment. He indicated he was not in favor of the road being reduced of its present radius. It stated that while it was a nice gesture to offer the homeowner's the opportunity to have their driveways done, he believed it was the City's responsibility to do the streets and only the streets. He asked why the overlay estimate went from $50,000.00 to $63,900.00 in just a couple on months. He asked what the 26 percent cost was. He asked why the quantities of bituminous differed, and why was there different square yards used. He stated the size of these two streets should be done for the same amount of money. He asked about the sod price. He asked why the sub grade excavation for Waldon Place was not smaller. He asked about the miscellaneous removal cost. He believed this was excessive. He asked what $2,000.00 would buy in the way of traffic control if used in other areas of the City. Mayor Probst asked if his concerns materially changed the outcome. Mr. Boujeau stated it may not change it, but he believed that something like this should be as accurate as possible before it was sent out to the residents for review. �
