during that 20 year period, and obviously within the 30 days after the assessment hearing which would not be held until next fall - a year from now. rm. ANDRE ~ There are no communications on this project. MAYOR DEMOS: I have one question. You said this petition was 46%. If we went to Alternate 2, it exceeds 50%. 1m. HONCHELL ~ If Alternate 2, it would be half of the property owners that signed the original petition. HAYOR DEr-1OS: At this time I ,.,ill open the hearing to the public. I ask that you come to the microphone and state your name and address and your position on Aglen Street. fm. PAT GORr1AN, l89l Aglen ~ ~1y \-life and I are the ones that took up the petition.

They're not going to get any cheaper, so let's take it now, and undoubtedly, I'm in favor of it. UR.

I think we need this curb to up-date that neighborhood, and I think the people, once it's in (inaudible) and go to places in the city that have put
