He stated the watermain is for a public purpose, and a interest-free deferral should be explored since there is no benefit to the resident until hook-up. He stated a bike trail around the west side of Round Lake should be explored, as it was originally part of the Gateway Plan. Councilmember Hicks clarified that a number of homes are ready to hook-up now. Mayor Probst invited the audience to comment further on this issue. No further comments were offered. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she agreed with Councilmember Malone's assessment of the meeting, and recommended a deferred assessment plan.
