Engineer Rodeberg addressed the condition of the present
street and water/sanitary sewer service on Harmony Lane
and Lincoln Avenue and the need for replacement. He noted
the City would be paying approximately one-half the cost
of the proposed project.
Rufus Mikulecky, 605 Harmony Lane, thought the road was
fine and expressed opposition to the project.
Bob Moritz, 562 Lincoln Avenue, stated he owned the pie
shaped parcel and wondered about the assessed cost for his
property. He noted there are areas of the street that are
in terrible condition. Although he was against the
project, he thought something needed to be done on Harmony
Lane.
Byron Sams, 505 Harmony Lane, commented that the condition
of the street was good after the City did maintenance on
it last year. He questioned if the street could last
another year or two since several property owners do not
have the money to pay the assessment.
Doug Fratzke, 705 Harmony Lane, stated Harmony Lane is one
of the worst streets in town, and he is in favor of the
project.
