MR. HONCHELL: That's $25 an hour or better for each hour they're out there. MRS. DOROTHY SCHMIDT, 289 Capitol View: I'm the one that's having a problem, but I'm having the problem as a result of the water from all those homes and I don't think I should be punished because of having that water. I didn't have that water before. MAYOR LINEBARGER: Anyone else that would like to be heard? Any member of the Council have a question they would like to ask before we close the hearing and then deliberate among~our- selves? If there's no one in the audience that would like to be heard further, I will close the hearing on Storm Sewer Improvement 74-14 and the Council will now deliberate among themselves and then vote. As I stated earlier, the nature of this project is a nonpetitioned improvement because of the removal of some five or six names, so four out of five votes of the Council will have to be in favor to vote the project in rather than three out of five which is true of a petitioned proposal. The hearing is now closed so I won't recognize anyone further from the audience. It will merely be dialogue between the Council and the staff.

If you have no problem with water you can't understand why we have to put a storm sewer in. I used to live on Dale and Shryer - one of the highest places in Roseville - and we had a hell of a time trying to keep our grass green it was so dry - but our water did run downhill. It doesn't all soak in instantly - it runs off, and I voted for the storm sewer in my area. It was $200 then - now it's $250. I have since moved and paid for another storm sewer over there. It's not fair to the people who have paid for storm sewers - and there are a lot of them in Roseville - to continue to have to pay for maintenance in areas where they don't want a storm sewer. Someone has to pay for it. That was a good question - what does it cost to send people out to fix these places up - and there's only one way we can solve the problem and that's by installing a storm sewer. In the future if there ever is going to be a permanent street construction in Roseville, you can't do it unless you have storm sewers first so it's going to come sometime and you're not a unique group of people or unique neighborhood because there have been a lot of neighborhoods that have storm sewers installed and if you have l5
