ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Ron Lepsch, 467 Devonshire Dr., thanked staff and Council for being helpful and
for financing the study to review the water issues.
Arthur Anderson, Waterloo, expressed concern with Waste Management not picking
up a broken garbage can. He asked that a speed bump or slow sign be placed on
the corner of Ash and Webster. The new houses on Mobile have new sidewalks but
the other side of the street needs sidewalks for the kids. Eric Thorson, City
Engineer, reported that the City has applied for Safe Routes for School to
install sidewalks in the area.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, reported that his neighborhood has not
been looked at for storm sewer. He stated he was originally told they would be
second. Mayor Clark reported that the neighborhood would be looked at next
spring.
Don Paige, 3316 Parkridge Road, expressed concern that the local option sales
tax would be used to extend Shaulis Road. He reported the intent of the tax was
to be for street repair, not new projects. Mayor Clark noted that in 2006 a
referendum was passed to allow for street construction if there was a federal
match for the project.
