PUBLIC HEARINGS: Street Improvements, 1988 Bituminous overlays Mayor Arlyn Christ called the public hearing to order at 8:12 P.m. in the Citv Council chambers. Citv Engineer Bohrer explained the history of each road and estimated the total cost of the overlay protect which will be assessed to benefiting Prooerty owners, at about $131.000. There are three methods of assessment: (1) Benefitted Front Foot Method. (2.) Unit Charae Method: and (3) Combination Method. Larry Bohrer presented the Council with a ureliminary assessment roll for the Combination Method and the Frontage Method. Bohrer stated the streets targeted for repair are in such a condition that sealcoatng and pothole repair would not be adequate. Therefore, he said the proposed protect would "protect the Citv's investment in the road itself." He added that the overlay would be lower in cost than complete reconstruction, which would likely be necessary in the future if the protect were not approved.

Hilltop Avenue--$22,500, overlav entire street with 1-1/2 inches of bituminous to strengthen the pavement and improve crown for drainage,- B. 36th Street from Jamaca Ave. to Irwin Ave. and 37th Street from Irwin Ave. to 200+ east--$9,200, overlav with 1 1/2 inches of bituminous and fill low aravel shoulders to'remove trapped water; C.
