Item 5d
i
A proposed ordinance was presented by John Roark, deleting certain streets
from the 1967 assessment paving program because they did not meet the requirements
of the program in obtaining 67 percent of the homestead footage. Mr. Roark
recommended that Bluff Street from 12th to 13th Street, be included in the program
even though it only received 36 percent of the homestead footage, because it is
within the central business district. One homestead owner controls 64 percent of
the total homestead footage, and all other property owners have signed notes or
liens.
Alderman Davis recommended that Avenue I from Kemp to Fillmore, also be
included in the program due to it being a side street along Kemp. Since parking
was not allowed on Kemp, he felt this would help alleviate that situtation. Orie
homestead owner controls 43 percent of the homestead footage. Participation of
57 percent was obtained.
