home and saying nothing, by number two, corning and saying I'm against it at that point, but saying why - in other words, I want them to understand that there has to be a convincing - that it isn't going to be done automatically. I'm trying to put the onus on them to make them understand their responsibility. COUNCILMAN CURLEY: Does this tax increment - your studies to this point - does it look feasible or does it look impossible? MR. ANDRE: It looks favorable. COUNCILMAN CURLEY: I want to be on record as favoring the tax increment part of this whole development. I think that's one of the reasons I went along . MAYOR DEMOS: I think we all did. I think we all took it for granted that when that was changed - that the tax increment financing would be bearing the bulk of the improvement costs, if not all. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: Certainly the City wants this improve- ment because we want that area to be developed and a year from now when those assessments corne pp - and if these people (inaudible) - I, for one, will not be hard to convince that they should have their assessment reduced, certainly on a house where one person is assessed on a B-4 rate and right next door somebody else is being assessed at an R-l rate. COUNCILMAN CURLEY: I think the same is true with any business. (Inaudible). LOIS ZAPPA, 2369 Fulham Street: When you're talking about putting the road in - what is the time frame of that? MAYOR DEMOS: I can't tell you when the road is going in MR. HONCHELL: perhaps I can answer that. As we indicated, there's another project to follow right after this one, serving' the same area - it's for storm drainage. As far as the antici- pated timetable - the storm drainage portion would be constructed yet this year, but the paving portion wouldn't occur until next year, although they may very well be coupled into one contract and be done in two phases - some of the reason being that you people can look down the block a few hundred feet and you can see a lot of construction going on today. We don't want to have your brand new street torn up by that construction either. We would like to see that occur, get that construction out of the way, and then corne in with the roadway so it will be in as good shape as possible for as long as possible. COUNCILMAN KEHR: So in other words, what you're saying Mr. Honchell, is that the assessment hearings on the street would not occur until 1984. Is that correct? 7
