Rol I Call: Land,
Mayor Nawrocki announced that the purpose of this meetin9 was a
hearing on the installation of curb, gutter and blacktop on all or
any part of 42nd Avenue from University to Central Avenue N.E. The
City Engineer and City Manager presented slides showing cross sections
of the avenue and gave a cost breakdown indicating a total estimated
cost of $3.00 per foot on an avenue basis and residents within ½ block
of 42nd Avenue. A further discussion was held regarding the cost
where curbs presently exist. On this the cost breakdown was $1.66
for blacktop and $1.36 for curb. Several individuals in the audience
were heard from objectin9 to the costs and asked that the project be
delayed due to other as~ssments for watermains that were assessed
last year. A number of individuals expressed the opinion that the work
should be done now since the cost of construction is continually
rising and it will cost much more money to do the ~ork later.
Councilman Land pointed out the desirability of having good AAstreets
by a person's home and indicated that people expect to have good
streets to drive on in all neighborhoods and it is unfair to expect
some people to pay for good streets which are available to everyone
and others to leave their streets in poor condition because they do
not wish to pay the cost of desirable street surfacing. At this point,
Councilman Land moved to deny the proposal for construction on 42nd
Avenue. Councilman Jeska seconded th~motion. Roll Call -All Ayes.
Motion by Jeska, seconded by Logacz to adjourn at:]~[~:12 p.m.
