A public hearing was held oil November 10, 2008. A petition <br />signed by 11 of the 21 benefitted property owners opposing the project was received on <br />January 5, 2009. However, one property is owned by a three party trust and a different <br />owner has signed the petition against the project than initially signed the original petition <br />for the improvements. Staff received legal opinion regarding the trust signatures and one <br />for imd one against - they cancel each other out, therefore, they were not counted. There <br />are 10 who oppose the project and 9 who are in favor of the project. The City's <br />ordinance says that if there is a greater percentage opposed to a project than for a project, <br />the properties in favor of the project have 30 days to submit a counter petition in favor of <br />the project ifthey get more signatures. Staff is recommending that the Council accept the <br />petition, celiify the number of valid signatures, and allow for a thirty-day period ending <br />January 30,2009, for the receipt of a counter petition. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen suggested that this project illustrates our petitioning process quite <br />well. He inquired what the cost is to maintain dirt roads. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works Olson stated that staff did an analysis on how many dirt roads <br />we have and we spend as much per resident on dirt roads as residents on paved roads. <br />There is a significant amount of man-hours plus the dirt and odor. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen inquired if the primary reason the residents counter-petitioned is <br />concem of cost. <br /> <br />City Council/January 13,2009 <br />Page 20 of31 <br /> <br />P70 <br />
