Mr. Gerald Jeppesen said that he was concerned about the financial burden that the LID would put on him. Mr. Jeppesen and his wife were also concerned about the drainage on 4th South and 4th West. They felt that if the curb was put in they would have more flood problems than before. They wanted to know why the city couldn't just oil the street and not put curb in. They do not object to the street. Mayor Porter said that if they put in a good street they had to put in curb. The Mayor said that we would not be able to put in curb along the canel, because it would make it too narrow. We will need to level off the canal bank.
