the age of 19. He stated that a similar practice is in effect in the City of Austin; that some
teenagers involved in traffic violations pay the fines from their allowances or other income
without the knowledge of the parents; stated that parents would be interested in knowing

would conduct the public hearing.
Mr. McDowell explained the purpose of the public hearing and stated that, the Staff
would offer testimony from the City Engineer and evaluation testimony from a real estate
appraiser to substantiate the assessments which appear on the Preliminary Assessment Roll,
and that the hearing was to form a basis on which the Council, acting as a legislative body,
would determine or establish the assessments on the abutting properties.
Mr. James K . Lontos, City Engineer, presented plans for the street improvements;
testified to the nature, extent and specifications of the proposed improvements on file in the
office of the Public Works Department; the amount of cost to be borne by the City, and the
amount to be assessed against the abutting property owners; the manner in which such pro rata
share was computed; and explained that these assessment rates are based on 809/6 of the unit
bid price applied to the front footage being assessed; that all rates on the assessment roll show
adjustments for existing improvements, side lots and lots backing up to the street being
improved; that the total contract bid price is $87,801 .10; that the total amount of assessments
to property owners is $4,764.62; and that the total cost to the City is $83,036.48.

in this City; testified that he had personally viewed and understood the extent and specifica-
tions of the proposed improvements; that he had personally viewed within the past week the
preliminary assessment roll and each of the properties to be assessed; and that in his opinion,
each of the properties so assessed would be enhanced in value at least to the extent of the
proposed assessments.
The following persons appeared in connection with the foregoing paving project:
Item 01, Orville B. Moon - Mrs. Orville B. Moon appeared opposing the improve-
ments, and stated that this was the third time the street had been paved and the first time there
had been an assessment levied; that 16 years ago when the street was lowered and widened,
nothing was said about curbs, gutters and sidewalks. Mrs. Moon, speaking on behalf of her
husband, Dr. Moon, stated they were not happy with the construction of the concrete island
in the middle of the street which prevents left hand turns into their driveway.
Item #3, Mr. Morris E . White, stated that he was present to speak for himself as
owner of Lot 5, but that he spoke the sentiments of Charles G. Allard, owner of Lot 6, and
Dr. C. Conklin, owner of Lot 4; stated that in 1963 the property was replotted after it was
purchased from a church, and that he was then told this strip of land was dedicated to the City;
that he does not oppose any good improvements, but is voiding his opposition on the basis that
the owners of these three lots feel there should not be an assessment levied on property which
was donated to the City.
Item #5, Mrs. Ruth Parr Sparks, at al - Miss Josephine Sparks appeared and spoke
heartily in favor of the improvements as proposed, and commended Mr. Whitney and the Staff
For their cooperation in working out the difficult problems in connection with the Village
