front foot based on the 25% approach. That would mean that this $12.16 would come down to the $11.38 and the other one, which was $10.42, would come up to the $11.38. It's an equalizing factor. That's not a decision you have to make tonight, but it does have some impact and that's why, based on the engineer's recom- mendation, we thought we'd give you those figures so in case anybody wants to comment on that they can. MAYOR DEMOS: By the same token, when those bids are let together, they may come in a little cheaper. MR. POPOVICH: That's right. MAYOR DEMOS: As long as there are two being done together. MR. POPOVICH: That's right. It just makes sense that normally, on this type of thing, you do them together, but since the petitions were separate they have to be handled separately. MAYOR DEMOS: That's right. we would let the bids out as one. ments? We price them separately but Are there any written state- MR. ANDRE: There are none. MAYOR DEMOS: I will open this hearing to the public and ask that each person come to the microphone and give your name and the address of the property to which you're referring. MR. GARY HOKENSON, 2461 Brenner Avenue: I guess I am opposed to this improvement. L'm afraid I have to disagree with Mr. Drown. The road surface is a little bit better than "fair". It's not broken, there are no potholes and there isn't any mud or anything along the street. There is adequate drainage and the storm sewers were placed there, I believe it was three years ago. To me, the road surface looks in good shape. I've lived along that street for 14 years and there has been almost no deterioration to the street. It's my opinion that it could go for another five to ten years without any improvement to it. I feel that at this time this improvement is not necessary. There are a number of other residents along the street who are of the same opinion. I have a question on the petition that was sent around. It was represented as a petition to survey the street and not to improve it. I think if you were to go back and ask the people whether or not they want to pay for it, you would not get 72%. When they brought the petition around to me, it was for a survey - not to improve. MR. POPOVICH: Here's the petition. It's very clear - to be improved by, etc. The petition says one thing and obviously, if something else was said. MR. HOKENSON: Something else was said. 3
