At that time the road was in bad repair and he <br />suggested ithat maybe it was incorrectly built.

She said there was never a mention of a <br />penalty if an improvement project was defeated. She stated that the taxes she pays should <br />pay for her half of the assessment. <br /> <br />Mayor Gi!bertson reminded her that if the project would have been done in 1985, she <br />would have had to pay 100 percent at that time too. <br /> <br />Mr. Benson inquired if the road would have to be tom up if it is in really bad condition. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that if Class Five gets mixed in with the subsoil, it may have to; <br />however, he felt that the majority of the road is going to be okay to overlay. <br /> <br />Mr. Benson stated "then we should not have failure right away" to which Mr. Jankowski <br />agreed. <br /> <br />Mr. Benson then inquired of Council if they were considering the cost-share to which <br />Councilmembers Peterson and Zimmerman answered that they were not. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Hardin to close <br />the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
