MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 23, 1990 out that other cities would not have allowed it. Blesener pointed out that the recent upgrading of Payne Avenue was due to the poor condition of the street and in order to bring it up to City standards. Fahey pointed out that at the time of the improvement hearing, residents along Payne Avenue made the argument that the condition of the street was due to construction traffic. This was one of the reasons that the City is participating in the cost of the improvement through the use of surplus TIF funds, thus reducinq the assessment necessary to the benefiting property owners. It was noted that Dean Paisley, 3078 Payne Avenue, has filed a written objection to the assessment. Scalze pointed out that prior to the initial improvement of Payne Avenue, there were 3 or 4 property owners that accessed their properties via gravel driveways over a public road easement. Mr. Paisley was one of them. Therefore, these property owners had a number of years of use of their properties before any assessment was levied. A property owner along Payne Avenue indicated that there is backfilling along curbing and some grading work that still needs to be done. The City Engineer replied that the City has not given final approval to the project, and these corrections would be made prior to that approval. Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 90-10-477 - REJECTING THE DEAN PAISLEY OBJECTION TO ASSESSMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT N0. 88-7 ON THE BASIS THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE IMPROVEMENT COSTS ARE BEING BORNE BY TAE CITY AND ON THE BASIS THAT THE APPRAISAL OF THE PROPERTY HAS INDICATED THAT THE ASSESSMENT IS REASONABLE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. Ayes (5) Fahey, Scalze, Collova, LaValle, Blesener. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. There was no one else from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Page 9
