The rest of <br />us were there because we care. Care about our city, our neighborhood and our neighbors. <br /> <br />Many citizens spoke about concerns they have about the proposed road project. I heard people agreeing <br />that portions of the proposed project needs to be done, but not one citizen that spoke agreed with city <br />council that the entire scope of the project needs to be done at this 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 the word <br />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 increase in <br />property value be associated with the cost of the project? When I repair a problem at my house, <br />my house does not increase in value by the full cost of material and labor. Many times there is not <br />an increase in value at all. <br />7. What source or sources are being using to determine the amount my property value will increase <br />due to the proposed road construction? <br /> <br />My actions may not have been the calmest in the audience, but as Council Member Jeff Paar motioned <br />to bring it on, we responded to his jester and brought it on. <br /> <br />We hope that the citizen's voices have been heard and you respect our voices and change the scope of <br />the project to include only the necessary improvements and to remove the 'luxury' portions of the <br />project such as sidewalks and bike paths. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Pamela Kennedy <br /> <br />Stay in touch when you're away with Windows Live Messenger. 1M anytime you're online. <br /> <br />This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System. <br />For more information please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/email <br /> <br />5/28/2008 <br />
