Waite stated that he was concerned about the extremely perfidious decisions being made by the Council. Waite indicated that the decisions made are sumeone else's way and being forced down the residents' throats. Waite pointed out that the residents we:re told that stop signs would be placed on the Old County Road C curves, and they have not. Waite also pointed out that in the design specs for the road improvement it appears that the road is cutting off the corner of his yard. Waite was concerned that the City would be taking his property without his knowledge. The Administrator replied that the City cannot take property without notice. The plans and specs for the road improvement indicated that the road is within the right-of-way. This is being double-cherked, and if private property is required, easements would be obtained. Fahey suggested that should Waite have ~~dditional concerns, that he discuss them with the City Administrator. Waite stated that the City should be honest and up- front with its citizens. If private property is required for the road improvement, the ~?roperty owners should know about it.
