MR. CARMEN DORSO: If you're only going ~o pick up 20% of it on the direct property owners, the rGst is going to have to come out of the general revenue fund of the village and I was going +0 ask the same question because I've been there for l6 years and I know the overflow of Langdon Lake goes into Wilson pond which is a problem so the whole area is going to benefit and if we're just going to ~ake 20% we have t.o raise our general taxes to cover the 80% that's not covered in the assessment and, therefore, I'm against it. I think taxes are high enough now. MR. JOHN NELSON, 3096 Cleveland Avenue: Do the people inside the red circle decide whether this is done or how is it decided? MAYOR DEMOS: The Council makes 1:he decision. They either order or abandon a project. We do want your par~icipation though. One thing I'g glad for here - it's the firs~ time we have created some ponds or enlarged them to make some holding ponds before we rush it down the storm sewers. It's the first time I know of we've really properly dealt with the subject. MR. ROBERT DUFORD, 3062 North Cleveland: What's the pay back period for the homeowner? Do we have any idea how long all of this construction will take - can you give us an in the ball park time? MR. HONCHELL: When you say "all this constr.uction" - all that is probably six months. It won't all happen at one time or one place. It depends on whether Cleveland goes or whether it doesn't go - is that development going to be built or not. You're looking at several months of work by a contractor. We also don't expect to have things torn up for six months while he works, but this is a sizeable project. MR. DUFORD: Quite a while ago you said ~here was an old drainage area from the county that started south of the project and went north. Is that still in existence - does it still drain norl-h? MR. HONCHELL: There are pieces that are in existence and pieces that are not. MR. DUFORD: So the area south drains into the area also. l7
