Mr. Jeff Lanasa, 5133 Shoreline Lane, stated he had received a letter from the City this afternoon when he called and asked what was going on. He stated that when the City tore up the street and the driveway two possibilities were presented for the driveway - asphalt or concrete. He stated their preference as asphalt. He stated they were told the City could do it in asphalt and the City found the subcontractor to do the driveway, which they have had problems with. He stated they had not been informed that asphalt should not be done. He stated when he talked to the City Engineer last week that was when he was informed that he should split the cost. He stated the base under the apron was not deteriorating. He stated the base under the asphalt driveway was eroding. He stated the driveway did not drain away from the house like it used to. He stated he was confused when the City said it should be concrete, but was willing to do asphalt for the third time. He noted this had been going on for two years. He stated he wanted a functioning driveway like he had before the City came in and dug up the street. He stated ifthere was some way to drain the driveway and not have standing water that was what he wanted. He stated with respect to the sewer, all three breaks were where the work was done, which he found lromc. Council member Holden asked if there was a letter sent with respect to residents given the choice between bituminous and concrete.

Ms. Wolfe stated the best information staff had was provided by the contract engineers who did most of the work on the project and she was not aware of any letter that had gone out with respect
