Ken Slugal, 4129 Arthur Street, asked if Arthur Street is a city or county street. Hansen stated that it is a state aid street. Ralph Johnson, 1146 Borealis, indicated that the curbs in his area are too low and water is getting below the street surface and ruining it. The blacktop was put down over chunks of blacktop. These repairs do not last. The quick fixes do not work. The water pools and does not run to the storm sewer. Hansen stated there was an edge mill done to keep the water in the curb and gutter. The answer to this is a total reconstruction of the street. We have done some curb and gutter replacements. Johnson suggested that the TIF money given to developers should be used to fix streets. Hansen stated that he would like to see what can be done at this cul-de-sac. George Herps, 2100 43`d Avenue, questioned what a unit is. Hansen stated that single family units all pay the same, whatever their frontage is. Herps asked if the city pays for their own assessment. Hansen stated that tax dollars do pay the city assessment.
