If you <br />believe you are not being assessed un-fairly that can be challenged. If the project goes through the city tries <br />very hard to make sure a home is assessed correctly. <br /> <br />As per my motion of bring it on, that was not professional of me and I can admit I made a mistake. When I ran <br />in 20021 had people calling my house telling me I am wasting time being in the race, I bring nothing to the city, <br />I am a non factor. So I worked hard and went door to door and did TV and newspaper and ended up winning. <br />When I ran for re-election in 2006 we had an input meeting and a resident got up and said I will make sure you <br />do not get re-elected. I was re-elected again in 2006. And at all of the input meetings with this project l/we <br />keep being told come November you will be out of herel I guess I am tired of hearing that and I reacted to it. It <br />has been hard to sit up front and have people yelling at you, swearing at you, telling half truths, and downright <br />lies about you and goings on in the city. I have no problem talking to residents about the project and I am <br />willing to make changes to the project. If people would just talk and be civil with me they would find that I am a <br />good person and truly do love this city and want to do what is best. <br /> <br />Again, thank you. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Council member Jeff Paar <br /> <br />In a message dated 5/4/20082:37:24 P.M.

Care about our city, our neighborhood and our <br />neighbors. <br /> <br />Many citizens spoke about concerns they have about the proposed road project. I heard <br />people agreeing that portions of the proposed project needs to be done, but not one citizen <br />that spoke agreed with city council that the entire scope of the project needs to be done at this <br />time. <br /> <br />Some issues that I can recall that were not addressed are: <br />1. What is city council doing to bring in more business to the city? <br />2. What is city council doing to keep the businesses that we have? <br />3. Why does Mill Road need a bike path at this time? <br />4. Why does Brian Way need a sidewalk? <br />5. Does everybody have to hook up to city water/sewer right away or can they wait? Does <br />the word everybody mean everybody or just the unfortunate people selected? <br />6. If the road project cost goes up then why will my assessment also go up? How can the <br />increase in property value be associated with the cost of the project? When I repair a <br />problem at my house, my house does not increase in value by the full cost of material <br />and labor. Many times there is not an increase in value at all. <br />7. What source or sources are being using to determine the amount my property value will <br />increase due to the proposed road construction? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5/9/2008 <br />
