Dear Mayor Merrill and City Council,
The residents of the Ricks-Wade subdivision have organized a neighborhood
committee to help facilitate the communication of their voices and concerns
with respect to the proposed Local Improvement District (LID) 51.
As a Committee,we have recently conducted a survey to independently look
at three questions:
●Whether or nor property owners are interested in moving forward or
delaying the proposed LID?
●Whether or not property owners are interested in keeping the street
width as is or narrowing the width?
●Whether or not property owners are interested in square curbs or
rolled curbs?
This survey effort was not an effort to undermine or subvert the City’s survey
but rather is intended as a complement and a venue to provide every property
owner a voice.We have strived to accomplish this through a door to door
effort.The survey is a hardcopy document with signatures.The committee
members collecting the data did not attempt to persuade or influence in any
way.We encouraged everyone to fill out the second question (existing width v.
narrow)exactly as they did on the City’s survey.
Our survey effort has resulted in a 92%response rate as of the morning of this
date. Attached is a table of the results for your consideration.
Please note that we see that the first question does not have a super majority
of 60%of property owners.The committee is committed to continuing to reach
out to the remaining property owners to finish out this effort to find out the
interest of every property owner if possible.We intend to work with the CIty
Clerk to submit the surveys of the property owners who prefer “to delay the
LID”,as written protests to the proposed LID regardless of super majority
status.
We appreciate each of you and your service to our community.We are grateful
for the opportunity to have our voices heard.Thank you for your consideration
of our findings.
Sincerely,
Ricks-Wade Subdivision Neighborhood Committee
Berkley Starks, Debbie Dickey, Farid Rivera, Joseph Wachtveitl, Matt Lewis,
