Before taking action, the Mayor declared a short recess of 10 minutes for legal counsel. Upon reconvening, Mr. Kenneth Gross, Attorney, was present, stating he was representing Mr. Frank Richards and presented 22 petitions of property owners opposed to the formation of this district, that 91% of the people in this area object to this.

Lumb, but that the records show lie conveyed his property to another owner, recording No. 11617, these people have never been contacted. lie stated that no one is in favor of this district, that they have been getting along with septic tanks, and that if this district is formed, it will prove to be a great burden on them.

AGENDA ITEM SB ORDINANCE NO. 64, 1971 - First Reading BEING AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE CREATION AND ORGANIZATION OF CONSOLIDATED SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 3, PROVIDING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS THEREIN, AND AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS TO PAY THE COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION THEREOF I Communication: Mr. John Bartel, City Clerk October 25, 1971 This is to register a strong objection tothe formation of the Consolidated Sidewalk Improvement District No. 3. We feel that this project is discrimination, forcing certain property owners to furnish and pay for sidewalks, and other property owners are exempt of this expense. This should be a 100 percent project, including all property owners, or nothing. After living in Fort Collins for 35 years, I have come to this conclusion. You can build aside walk to foot wide, children going to school, will walk where they please. Sincerely, /s/ Harold E. Busch Margarete E. Busch ;Property owners at 1633 Remington Street.) Mrs. Dorothy Arms, 215 E. Lake, was present and asked the Council for reconsideration of a four foot sidewalk, that the one this will abutt on Mathews on the west, is 18" wide, and allow them to put in a three foot sidewalk. The City Manager said that if the Council makes one exception, we will have to make others, that the ordinance requires a four foot sidewalk. Mayor Carson said that an exception had to be made in case of having, to remove trees to lay a•sidewalk but the only way the Council could look at this is a four foot sidewalk for everyone where the school district had requested it. Mrs. Al Valdez was present, of 519 Maple Street, asking if they could put a curb sidewalk, that so far there were not any walks on that street between Meldrum and Whitcomb, that a 4' sidewalk would bring it almost to their front door. The City Manager advised her that the City Engineer would go out there and show here where the sidewalk would be. Mr. Luthur Hickman, 1418 Whedbee, was present, stating that there was no way the youngsters could get though Circle Drive on in on Prospect to Barton, that putting in a sidewalk on his property would be of no use to them. That a further check of this area should be made and should be reconsidered before putting in this walk and will not add to the beauty of Fort Collins. Mayor Carson stated that these walks were requested by the school district. After further discussion, motion was made by Councilman Lopez, seconded by Councilwoman Preble, that Ordinance No. 64, 1971, be considered favorably on first reading this 18th day of November, 1971, and to be presented for final passage on the 9th day of December, 1971. Upon a roll call, all members of the Council voted in the affirmative. Councilman Fead stated he wanted to encourageeveryone to have their -own walk put in as they will certainly save money .
