Tim Weiss, 6855 Belle Street: is not in favor of the shape and pave project on south Belle. Does not feel this

project. Wagner answered one year. There will be ongoing maintenance on the road, just like a house, fogsealing, crack sealing, etc. Road maintenance comes out of the general fund after road project is complete.She is thankful Greenfield is contributing to this project as other cities have not contributed.Julie Vergin, 6375 Belle Street: asked if the cost would be divided by parcel or frontage. Answer is by parcel.

Asked if the Belle Street south cul- de- sac will be done. Wagner answered yes, it will be reshaped and pavedand they are working with the Public Works supervisor and are aware of the soft spots in the cul- de-sac.

Jim Hendrickson, 5075 71st Lane N: concerned about some property owners have a lot of drainage. Wagneranswered: they are aware of all the drainage issues and this will be addressed with the project.

Joe Lepore, 6965 Belle Street: questioned who did the paving on North Pioneer Trail years ago as there is abig dip and asked what recourse does the city have if road fails in the future. Wagner answered: it was the

same company doing this project and the dip can be felt but is not very big. Wagner assured everyone that thiswill be tightly monitored and should not be a problem going forward.

Kelly Barta, 6940 Belle Street: how does assessments work, is it added to your house mortgage if you haveone? Wagner answered: it is assessed to your property taxes. Details will be shared in the fall assessmenthearing, amounts, percent of interest, terms, etc.Tim Weiss, 6855 Belle Street: asked what the last survey results were for south Belle Street. He knows there

were 5 against. Mayor Johnson said the other 7 were either for, undecided or didn' t answer. The survey wasdone before 50% option was on the table.

Connie Bolduc, 5025 71st Lane: asked if there would be more flow in the creek behind there house. Wagner

answered: it should not affect the flow but it should get rid of the standing water along the roads.David Miller, 6525 Belle Street: not in favor of shaping and paving south Belle Street. He asked if the property

value would increase. Wagner answered: that would be a question for the County assessor. It may not but mayincrease your ability to sell.

Mayor Johnson said Staff put together a study on the cost of gravel road maintenance. By paving south BelleStreet, it will save the city money so that is why the 50% share option is on the table.

yes, the ditch will then be gone.Wes Wood, 5000 71st Lane: asked if work is done outside of the road easement area would there be

additional cost to the homeowner. Wagner answered no. Woods asked when is the soonest the project would
