She noted the Public Works Superintendent also believed this to be the problem. She noted that she did rea1ize this to be hearsay, but felt this is a clear show of neglect on behalf of the construction crew. Ms. Garski indicated they were unable to use their air conditioning and the damage was unbelievable. She indicated this to be a continuous comedy of errors regarding the road reconstruction. Councilmember Hicks noted the Council will be sympathetic. Ms. Garski believed withholding payment would be the residents only leverage in the issue. He noted he would not want to have to sue the City and the contractor just to resolve this. Mr. Joe Ricke, 1740 West County Road F, indicated he now has a twelve foot by six foot hole in his foundation. He stated his young family is unable to live there and expressed frustration regarding the entire incident. He urged the City to continue investigating the situation. Mayor Probst indicated the City will continue to investigate the concerns and will do what they can. He urged the citizens to continue to keep the City informed of any concerns. Mayor Probst returned to item four on the agenda PUBLIC HEARING - 1995 STREET MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Mayor Probst opened the Public Hearing at 8:04 p.m. He noted this is a continuation of the Public Hearing held on July 31, 1995, therefore no additional notification was sent out. City Engineer Stonehouse briefly reviewed the project and the reason why the Council is at this particular point. He noted the two issues brought up at the last council meeting were the comer lots and outlots and the rate of assessments regarding both. Mr. Stonehouse indicated, based upon a review of the assessment calculations, the two residential properties (1179 and 1194) at the westerly intersection were previously included at the corner lot rate using the length of the short plus one third of the long side. The two outlots were not calculated using this method and the revised total assessment length for the Hunter's Park Homeowner's Association as a result of these revisions would be 3,554.87 feet, a reduction of317.90 feet. Mr. Stonehouse explained based upon this change the total assessment amount to the association would be reduced to $14,219.48 and the resulting assessment per lot is $209.11.
