MAYOR LINEBARGER: I will now open the meeting to the public and ask if there is any person in the audience that would like to speak concerning this improvement. Anyone in the audience? MR. CAL DOUGLAS, representing the Slawik interests. Our only question actually is if this is a typical assessment that the City of Roseville makes on projects of this type. In other words, where the Highway Department is separating the property from their acquisition - is it a typical assessment where the Highway Department pays for their portion and Roseville assesses all the other costs against the property owner. Our only question is, if that's the typical Roseville City assessment, I guess we can't object. ~mYOR LINEBARGER: I'll ask Mr. Honchell to respond to your question. MR. HONCHELL: To the best of my knowledge, this has been typical in the City of Roseville. There are many cases where the Highway Department does not even pick up the cost of the curb and gutter (inaudible> but in this case it's anticipated that they will be absorbing the cost. MR. DOUGLAS: Then we understand and that's fine. MAYOR LINEBARGER: Anyone else in the audience that would like to ba heard on this matter? Any questions on the part of the Council? COUNCILMAN BRENNAN: Suppose the Highway Department did not go along with your proposal? Would then the total assess- ment over and above the $25,000 go against the property owner? MR. HONCHELL: It would, except this is not committing the city to the actual construction. This is, in a sense, saying that the construction is a good thing to do and we should move forward to seeing that it happens. We still have to agree to the final plans and agreement with the Highway Department on the sharing of the cost. MAYOR LINEBARGER: You'd be back to us if it was any dif- ferent? MR. HONCHELL: At this point it's possible for the city to terminate the project if it desired because of cost or other re.asons. MAYOR LINEBARGER: Any further questions?
