Bob Gass, of Fox and Jacobs, came before the council to
discuss the agreement for street repairs in Hillside #4.
Several were in attendance and a petition was submitted to
the Mayor"requesting that the City revoke permission of
construction on any new houses, streets,alleys and sidewalks
until they finish what they have started in Hillside to their
customers' satisfaction" After much discussion a motion was
made by Andrew Second Farmer that the city propose to adopt
package #2 which consists all asphalt streets, concrete alleys
and that the city staff and Fox and Jacobs reach an agreement
on a proposal for those portions of the street that should be
replaced and the alleys to be reconstructed. Fox and Jacobs
is to obtain a bid for that work which is to be brought to the
City, along with a written monetary proposal showing how the
cost can be split by the 15th. If not by 15th, we are to be
immediately notifed and a meeting will be called for the 24th.
Motion carried 6 for 0 against as Daugherty was out of the room.
If any money is retrieved from the previous developer, the
money will be split between the City and Fox and Jacobs.
A change in the work order on contract No. 790701 for the 24 and

installed in bore and casing under the streets instead of open -
cutting the streets; however it decreases the amount of the
contract by $10,986.00. Motion Andrew Second Farmer to approve
this change. Motion carried unanimously.
