8 blue storm sewer which we must put in because the county is up-grading Lexington Avenue. So therefore, the price you're talking about - the $295 - that's already charged to you. I think the thing that the Council has to decide now is do they want to pay in this fund extra money to put in the sections that are shown in red. We can put in the sections that are shown in red and you won't be charged any more money. You're already going to be charged the amount because of the fact that we have to put in the blue line. Now, if we leave the red line out - this is the little short section - that possibly we could do, and if we leave the red line out on the top we cannot fix that road. We leave that off at County Road C-2 - we cannot fix that road with MSA funds, which again we can do with your money - the MSA fund is your money. Don't get the idea it's a gift from anybody. If you look at the price of gasoline on that little pump you get that out of, there's a lot going back in here, but it's a matter of timing. I think with the inflation now we'd be better to put that red section of storm sewer in now and pay maybe 10 percent less than we would two years from now - maybe pay 25 percent less than five years from now, and like Charlie said, I think this is probably the time we should do it. In the process of putting that in we can up-grade County Road C-2 without charging anybody any money. You ask for Churchill or Oxford - that has to be you. We had a public hearing about two and a half years ago and the people decided they did not want any permanent roads in Roseville, so if you feel you want a permanent road you have to petition for it. We will take care of any petitions, but the money situation cost to you on this project is all taken care of by what has to be done on Lexington Avenue. The other part we would be doing, in my opinion because it's the most expedient time to do it. We can put it in - not have to charge you any money for it on assess- ments. We do use up some of our MSA funds to put in a section of road on County Road C-2, and I've been on that section and I don't think it's too darn good the way it is. So personally, I'm going to vote in favor of the project. MAYOR DEMOS: I might point out that Mr. Anderson is referring to lO percent less than next year - referring to inflation. However, if this is built - and speaking strictly of the storm sewer on County Road C-2 - along with the (inaudible) it comes cheaper to bring in the equipment at the same time. The same way with paving the road in conjunction with others. COUNCILMAN CURLEY: County Road C-2 won't be up-graded unless we put a storm sewer in. Nobody wants to spend $295, and that doesn't come easy to everybody, but in order to get that street in with MSA funds I think we're going to have to put the storm sewer in the red area and it seems like $295 over 20 years (inaudible) are going to be driving over that street and I think
