'T'his year's project includes seven bituminous street areas proposed to be overlaid, along with three areas of gravel roads.

The resolutions the Council is asked to consider include receiving the feasibility study and ordering the public hearing to be held on July 7, 2008, determining the cost to be assessed and ordering the preparation of the assessment roll, establishing the date fox the assessment hearing to beheld also on July 7, 2008, ordering the preparation of plans and specifications and allowing the project to be bid on June 19, 2008, so that firm construction costs will be available fox the public/assessment hearing.
