(Councilman Troxell stated that the property owners had 30 days to make the repairs
or the City would contract to have the work done and bill the owner. He asked what saving
for the property owner to do it himself. The Director of Public Works stated that there was
about a 10% saving. He said if the property owner.notifies the Engineer Department that they .
have made other arrangements, then the City does not send a contractor. He said they have had
comments from property owners that they have not received notification and felt that they do-
not understand what the notices mean or how much they can save by doing it themselves. He
thought it should be spelled out that.it will cost more for the City to make repairs. The
Director of Public Works said that SO% of the residents in Circle Drive had already completed
their work and a lot of it -poor and it should be done properly before overlaying the streets.
'Councilman Troxell suggested the Council check the form letter that the City Engineer sends out
" and see if it can be improved upon, he also stated that the policy is sound but that the people
