Project Cost and Financing
Based on the low bid, approximately $108,780.84 will be assessed against
abutting property owners, to be provided for by a bond fund transfer from
Revolving Fund Unspecified. Total construction, inspection, engineering
salaries and miscellaneous costs to the City will be approximately
$75,995.32. Approximately $34,000 remains available from the $37,500
provided for City expenses in Project Account No. 104-24000-235 by M&C
C-2460, dated March 5, 1973. A bond fund transfer from Assessment Paving
Unspecified, Account 104-24000-901 in the amount of $42,000 will be
required to supplement the above $34,000. The storm drainage costs are
substantially higher than originally estimated because adjacent property
is flatterthan indicated by the contour maps used in making the original
estimates, and because the cost of construction has risen since the original
estimate.

for the Assessment Paving of Irving Street from Blue ?Lound road to 2480° east.

'Ih(�z meeting Ydas attended by four property owners, -gamely M- a Al ferry, represent-
ing hobb°s Trailers, Mr, Allen Pelton9 Pelton Manufacturing Company, Mxe Leo Flo
Steele, of National Broomcorn Company and Mr, Le Ne Wilemon, owner of Tract 7,
W. ', Tucker Survey,
Procedures concerning the proposed i.mprovemeets, owner participation in costs and
methods of payment were explained by Odell Schmidt to those present.
After this explanation, the meeting was opened for discussion,,
;war, )wilemon said that he felt that constructing a dead-end street was not going to
improve a development, He also said that he had no immediate plans for developing
his property and felt that the improvement was a little premature.
Mi. Steele objected to the improvements at this time. He also said that he felt
sure that the improved- street would raise the lime value and they would be forced
to pay a higher tax rate before the property was developed.
Mr. Pelton, owner of Tract 7, agreed with the other property owners objections
He said Ise: felt that the street improvements would enhance the property but he
was not prepared to make the improvement at this time.
Mr. Terry, stated that hobb°s Trailers is in the process of bui.ldirA a wholesale
parts warehouse and that the improved street was very important to the company.
After a short general discussion the meeting was adjour-ned,
