In pursuance to publicly announced invitation, citizens and property,owners who will be
affected by the improvement of Yakima. Avenue were in attendance at the meeting. The
general plan for improviing.' Yakima Avenue was announced by the City Engineer and
questions were asked by various members of the group. There were about 25 property own-
ers present. The discussion led into the question of future overhead or underpass cross
Ing on Yakima Avenue, and there was some discussion as to whether,or not the plans for
surfacing the avenue should wait until the matter of the crossing was settled. It was
the informal opinion of the commissioners that it would be inadvisable to delay the
matter of resurfacing. An informal vote was taken among the property owners as to the
choice between asphaltic concrete and cement concrete and substantially all those in-
dicating a preference were in favor of asphaltic concrete. It was the 'consensus of the
commissioners that the City should proceed to establish an L.I.D. for the purpose of
paying for the resurfacing as soon as the engineer could get out the necessary data.
Moved by Buck, seconded by Bishop that we do now adjourn: carried, Buck, Bishop and
Clark voting aye on roll call. ~
