BACKGROUND: The approved survey letter was mailed to twenty-six (26) downtown area property owners/residents on August 4, 1982. A copy of this letter is attached for your information. As of the date of this memo, thirteen (13) letters have been returned and will be recapped below.

Seven (7) Desiring their area be left just as it is without improvements in the public right-of-way. Two (2) Expressing no comments either for or against the improvements, or the survey letter was not returned. The attached map shows those properties in favor of improvements (green), those properties against the improvements (red), and those properties expressing no comments either for or against the improvements, or where the survey letter was not returned (yellow). Some general comments written on the letters opposing any improvements are as fol 1 ows: 1. We have no problems with mosquito breeding or drainage in the area. 2. We are not aware of any special mosquito problem. 3. We do not have a nuisance water drainage problem or an increase in mosquitos, but we do have a continuing catch of rats. 4. There was no mention of cost and we feel it invalidates the survey. CURB, GUTTER, AND SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION AUGUST 11, 1982 PAGE TWO The City either al e Council has the following options with respect to the installation of 1 or a portion of subject improvements: Fund them under Assessment District proceedings, wherein the property owner adjacent to the improvements would be assessed over a ten year period for the total engineering, construction, and admi.nistrative cost of said improvements. Fund the improvements with general fund/gas tax monies at no cost to the property owners. This could most likely occur in the 1983-84 budget year. Attempt to solicit grant monies, such as H.C.D.A. funds, for said improvements at no cost to the property owners and minimal cost to the City. 4. A combination of any of the three previous options.
