Voting No: None. <br />Public Hearing <br />Mayor Ramsey called the public hearing to order at 7:46 p.m. <br />Citizen Input <br />LeRoy Stromenger, 5337 - 142nd Lane NW, expressed concern with being assessed for the <br />sidewalks and with speeding on his street. <br />Mayor Ramsey replied he is not being assessed for the sidewalks, but for the asphalt and <br />lighting. He added he has received phone calls because police stopped people in the construction <br />zone where Mr. Stromenger lives. The project was supposed to be done without closing the <br />road; however, it needed to be closed for safety. <br />Jeff Calgart, 14404 Dysprosium Street NW, commented the sidewalks should be put in right and <br />is starting to chip in front of his house. He said 40-foot trees were removed from his property, as <br />well as neighbors' trees. He questioned what happened to the wood from the trees and whether <br />the roots would be removed before the project is finished. He mentioned he would need to make <br />payments. <br />City Council / October 11, 2011 <br />Page 8 of 17 <br />
