Joel Oakes, 21019 York Street, indicated he is in favor of the project. <br /> <br />There being no further comments from the public, Mayor Duitsman closed the <br />public hearing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmgren spoke to the subject of the city's policy of assessing <br />overlays as opposed to a tax levy for overlays. He indicated that although this is <br />a good idea, he felt the time is not right to tax citizens for this type of project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Farber stated that he felt the streets need to be kept in good <br />repair and indicated that without an overlay the streets would deteriorate at a <br />much more rapid pace. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scheel indicated she liked the idea of taxing the citizens for <br />overlays as opposed to assessing them. She further noted that she would vote <br />against the overlays on behalf of her constituents except for the Avon Acres <br />area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dietz indicated he did not feel a tax levy for an overlay would <br />be very equitable. He indicated it would be very difficult to prioritize the road <br />improvement project. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 95-39, A <br />RESOLUTION ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT IN THE MATTER OF THE 1995 <br />BITUMINOUS OVERLAY.
