He stated that Mr. Olin Richardson is also opposed. Alderman Morrison explained the purpose of this hearing, and Mr. Anderson was of the opinion that his property would not be benefited by that amount. Ernest Lillard explained that the City picks up a larger portion of the tab of the assess- able paving costs for properties abutting side streets. jMr . Caldan Boone, 4719 Neta Lane, opposed the paving of Marshall Street, stating that when he lived there he would have been glad to have it paved, but now he does not feel it would increase the sale value of it. �I 1004 Item 3b, cont'd. Mrs. Stephens, 1653 Collins, opposed the paving of Alma Street because she cannot afford it, and others present do not feel that they can afford it, either. Mrs. Mendenhall, 1653 Huff, opposed the paving of Alma Street due to finan- cial reasons, and read the names of others who are also opposed, as follows : Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy R. Nowell, 1654 Elizabeth; Mrs. J. N. Holmes, 1556 Elizabeth; Mrs. R. R. Howard, 1655 Elizabeth; C. T. Kelly, 1653 Elizabeth; B. I. Hays, 1654 Pearl; Mrs. L. B. Holland, 1655 Pearl; Mrs. Charles R. Raney, 1652 Lucile; Mrs. Gunter, 1655 Collins ; Mrs. Stephens, 1653 Collins; Mrs. Moffett, 1655 Lucile; Ed Carpenter, 1654 Collins; Tony Chavis, 1653 Pearl ; Frank R. Gandy, 1652 McGregor; Mrs. Mary Drane, 1654 McGregor, and Mr. ?aborowski, 1654 Lucile. Mr. Kruger pointed out that they are trying to accomplish the paving of all streets in the City, and inquired if she could apportion the payments on a four- year basis. Upon her inquiry, it was explained that the interest rate is eight percent on the unpaid balance, which would amount to approximately $160.00 for a four-year payment. She stated that she only has pension money, and feels there is no way that she could pay. She stated that the present street would be satisfactory if the City would fill in the holes. The City Manager stated that they are trying to eliminate high maintenance costs of these streets by paving them. She stated that she has $268.00 a month to live on, and inquired what the payments would be. Ernest Lillard explained that it would be some- where around $25 to $28 per month, including interest, for four years. He fur- ther stated that it is very difficult to find property owners with equal ability to pay. While it is a hardship, the City has paved many streets under these same conditions. When these streets are paved, we will have completed almost all of the streets north of Kell Boulevard. The benefits to the area, the prop- erty itself, and the community, are certainly considerable. She mentioned the curb on Huff Street in front of her house, and Mr. Lillard stated that they would be glad to take a look at it. She stated that if the payments could be cut to about $15.00 per month, they might be able to afford it. The City Manager pointed out that the City had never foreclosed on any property owner for delinquent pay- ments . Mayor Kruger stated that the Council did not want to work a hardship on anyone, but it is a matter of the overall picture. Mrs. Stephens inquired who to see if they wanted to go to the four-year payment. Ernest Lillard stated that they should see Tom Thomas in the Tax office. He also stated that no improvements would be made in the area where Kell would be built. Mrs. Stephens asked if they would be sued if they could not pay. The City Manager stated that the City had not made a practice in the past of suing for paving improvements. He also explained that in the event they desired to sell the property, the lien would have to be paid. Michael Byrd, 4301 Scottsdale, appeared regarding P. B. Lane. He stated that it needs to be paved, but that he finds it inconceivable that the City would permit any developer to develop an area without paving the street. The City Manager stated that the City requires that one street abutting the property must be paved. Mr. Byrd stated that he cannot determine at this time that his property will be enhanced in the amount of the assessment. Ernest Lillard pointed out that homes have increased in value also. Mr. Byrd stated that he finds it inconceivable that his property would be enhanced in the amount of the cost. Emily Gunter, 1655 Collins, inquired if this included driveways. The City Manager explained that only the driveway approach would be included as part of the assessment. (Driveways are not included.) Mrs. Holmes, 1656 Elizabeth, explained that she has a rent house on the back of her lot, but there is no driveway approach from Alma Street. Mr. Lillard ex- plained that the engineer would make provisions for driveway entrances; however, if there is not a driveway entrance there now, she would be required to pay for it in addition. She stated that she cannot pay the amount of the assessment, and feels that it is not right to take her money that she may need to live in a rest home. Don Bowen, 4300 Gorman, stated that he agrees with Lt. Byrd. There is another development going on across the street. Mr. Lillard stated that the prop- erty owner across the street is being assessed under the same ordinance right now. 1005 Item 3b, cont'd. John Hirschi stated that it has been his experience that developers have been required to pave any streets being developed. Mr. Lillard stated that if a new street is provided in the development, then it must be improved, but the City does not accept dedication on an existing street which is not paved. r / ORDINANCE NO. 2896 ORDINANCE CLOSING HEARING AND LEVYING ASSESSMENTS FOR PART OF THE COST OF IMPROVING VARIOUS STREETS DESIGNATED AS PHASE I OF THE 1974 ASSESS- MENT PAVING PROGRAM IN THE CITY OF, WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS , FIXING CHARGES AND LIENS AGAINST ABUTTING PROPERTY THEREON, AND AGAINST THE OWNERS THEREOF; PROVIDING FOR THE COLLECTION OF SUCH ASSESSMENTS AND THE ISSUANCE OF ASSIGN- ABLE CERTIFICATIONS IN EVIDENCE THEREOF; RESERVING UNTO THE BOARD OF ALDER- MEN THE RIGHT TO ALLOW CREDITS REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF THE RESPECTIVE ASSESS- MENT TO THE EXTENT OF ANY CREDIT GRANTED; DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO EN- GROSS AND ENROLL THE ORDINANCE BY COPYING THE CAPTION OF SAME IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF PICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AND BY FILING THE ORDIN- ANCE IN THE ORDINANCE RECORDS OF SAID CITY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, PROVIDING SUNDRY MATTERS INCIDENT THERETO, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Mr. Lillard explained that this can be accomplished at the time of acceptance of the streets and levying the assessment, possibly around January 1. City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that mechanics liens on home- stead properties would be signed before construction is begun. The City Manager explained that they would not take any mechanic's liens until they get the informa- tion requested, and that homestead owners would be notified of any change.
