John Stewart, City Engineer, advised that the City may continue to have problems on that section of Mill Road, as he has previously advised, until it is dug out and reconstructed similarly to the south section of Mill Road reconstructed with the 1987 Street Project. Council member Pelton advised that in the future she would not like to see the City continue to spend more dollars than authorized to patch the streets.

In addition to the information provided in the Maier, Stewart & Associates September 6, 1989 letter, John Stewart advised that if an area which contained a less than 100 foot right of way were not involved in a recent platting process, the County would pick up 100% of the right of way acquisition.
