<br />seems reasonable - it's a judgment call. <br /> <br />MRS. CARLSON: Was it perhaps $39,000 out of $600,000 <br />because there was so much industrial money pouring into that <br />and so there wasn't the need or . <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: The $39,000 actually came out of a <br />compromise on a lawsuit. Otherwise it would have been 100%. <br />$600,000, paid for by benefitted properties. The past <br />practices on improvements like this - most often, at least - <br />have been assessed 100%. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MRS. CARLSON: Do you think there's anything unusual <br />about this proposal that would make it less than 100%? <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: Perhaps it would be hiding to say that <br />that determination is made at the assessment hearing. If <br />it was 50%, would you want it? Say the City picked up 50%. <br />Would that be worth it to you? <br /> <br />MRS. CARLSON: More so than 100%. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: It's still bad, but only half as bad. <br /> <br />MRS. CARLSON: I think the assumption that you had that <br />everyone sitting out here doesn't want the proposal <br />(inaudible) is maybe carrying it further than what I per- <br />sonally would like. I wouldn't mind having water, but like <br />the gentleman in back said - not at that price. Talking <br />about $25.00 a foot versus $50.00 a foot - I'm thinking that <br />that might change some of our minds out here. So to assume <br />that we don't want it . . . <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: We're merely trying to judge the <br />depth of your feelings - how far it goes. <br /> <br />MAN IN AUDIENCE: It's a shame to use even 50% of the <br />City's money and/or our money if there's a good likelihood <br />that somebody else would pay the bill. It's a sensitive <br />issue because who knows at what point any of us should pay? <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN CHRISTIANSEN: <br />water now? (Audience response <br />to check it very frequently? <br /> <br />Are most of you using your <br />mostly yes.) Are you having <br /> <br />WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: The PCA is checking. They have <br />(inaudible) check the water four times a year, which is <br />really unheard of in their practice. They generally check <br />once a year (inaudible) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MAN IN AUDIENCE: I think you've hit us with something <br />that's not possible. Sure, $25.00 a foot - you could <br />probably change my mind. I might possibly say go ahead and <br />do it. But the whole thing revolves around, number one - <br />benefit for the dollars we're going to be asked to spend. <br /> <br />-11- <br />
