The meeting was turned over to Mr. Tom Klemenhagen, Engineer, who presented the overall view of the blacktop and curb and gutter on King Street. He explained how the assessments were figured and how each property owner was affected. Total project cost is $289,558.80 with $217,169.10 being assessed to abutting property owners.

There were 15 residents in attendance most were concerned about the flooding of the King Street area. They felt the water issue should be addressed before the street is blacktopped.
