He felt there were no problems with the sewers at this time, but they will be televised prior to street repair. If a problem spot is detected, the City would repair it. Bishop also asked why Ciatti's Restaurant is not included, to which Maurer replied that their portion of the street was previously repaired and Ciatti's were assessed. Bishop urged that Council consider televising the St. Mary's sewers. PETER WYCOFF, 1834 ARONA ST., indicated he would prefer one side parking with a narrower street and encouraged Council to pursue that. He also inquired about the length of the assessment period and interest. Baldwin replied in the past few years a typical assessment period has been ten years and that interest is usually set at 1$ above the bond rate, however that is a decision Council must make at that time. JOHN HUSTAD, 1825 ARONA ST. inquired how much less it would cost each property owner if the street was constructed 7 tons instead of 9 tons and was informed it would make no difference. Maurer explained that under the MSA requirements the City must have a contract by June of 1991 or the City will be penalized. LOIS MILLETT, 1718 FRY ST., stated she is in favor of repairing the streets as she felt it is the responsibility of citizens to keep up streets and homes. Her concern was the width of the street.

Maurer explained that they will will be doing more measuring and evaluating the impact on trees and if they feel there is a problem the City Forester will become involved.

Kwong stated his preference for a 34 foot street with parking on one side. JIM BYKOWSKI, 1745 ST. MARY'S ST., inquired why in some areas the drawings show a storm drain every 300 feet while there is an area of about 1,200 feet on Maple Knoll where no existing or proposed storm sewer is indicated. Maurer stated they may change the design when drafting the plans. Bykowski suggested Council consider making Fry St. one-way to alleviate some of the increased traffic created by making St. Mary's one-way., IAN BAIN, 1626 GARDEN, was concerned that curb and gutter would extend the street beyond the proposed width and Maurer assured him the street width would include the width of curb and gutter DON GRITTNER, 1718 ARONA ST., commented on the lack of sewers on Simpson and Asbury which run into the system on Arona and asked ~~
