COUNCILr~N CURLEY~ The reason I ask the question is our Public Works Administrator feels he couldn't recommend Alternate 1 without having a storm sewer feasibility report, is that correct? HR. HONCHELL: ThatOs correct. COUNCIL~T CURLEY: We could go ahead (inaudible). ~1RS. rlILTON SEGAL, l83 7 Ag len : Hm., come they s topped at Roma and did not go down to the end of the street? It's from Roselawn to Dionne. How corne they stopped at Roma? There's only one block - five or six houses. rmYOR DEHOS: The Council did not institute this. This carne in by petition. I can't tell you why they didn't go any further. Since it came in by petition, we would not have the right to go ahead and say we will do that block too. HRS. SEGAL: It will be awfully funny to stop at one end and leave one street without the curbing, and finish it off on Roma when it should be finished off on Dionne.

COUNCILMAN GRAUEL: It was the intent to present to the residents last year a proposal to develop a street system - permanent street system in the community - and those who were opposed to it showed up at the meeting. Those who were in favor of new streets did not show up, and consequently, the proposal to put in new streets throughout the community was voted down and we have to do the next best thing, and that is to determine a policy and how we can assess the residents and yet encourage them to build streets and continue to develop our community in a manner that each of us could be proud, and it's now got to be a piecemeal basis, on a petition by the residents because I doubt if this Council is going to propose something in the near future for improving the street system in Roseville without a petition from the residents. COUNCILrUlW HESS~ I feel our assessment policy of 25% at $7.47 a foot against 100% is a good deal for the people on Aglen Street. I thin]c in today' s market $ 7.47 a foot is a real bargain because the rest is being spread over the city. I would be in favor of this alternate No.2. COUNCILr~T CURLEY: Needless to say, I was accused during the campaign of promoting the whole thing a year ago and I would love to see a few people up here (inaudible). COUNCILHAN GRAUEL. then introduced the follo\'Jing resolu- tion and moved its adoption:
