property adjacent to Stimmel Road, and for the concrete curb, gutter and paving of Stimmel
Road from U. S. 81 Highway to 5th Street, which was referred back to the petitioner at the j
June 15, 1970 meeting because it had an insufficient number of signers. The City Engineer
reported that the signature obtained on the petition on July 27, 1970 gave the petition
500 of the property owners. He stated that if the street is paved, the City will need to
obtain additional right-of-way. The estimated cost of paving will be $10.00 a front foot,
water will be $2.50 a front foot, and sewer will be $2.50 a front foot. Commissioner

sale in a few years. He felt the sewer and water improvements should be made, but the
street improvements should be let go. The City Engineer stated that the 6 signers on the
petition represent 30% of the abutting front footage. A motion was made by Commissioner
