RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM ON S. BALLARD FROM STONE RD. TO

stated that this was what he had asked about at the meeting
the other night , was to vote on doing part of S. Ballard and
Callie Court and was told we couldn' t do it. City Manager
John Pitstick said Mr . Homeyer had said there was not enough
money but since then we have rechecked and found there was
money for the materials and part of the labor . Councilman
Messenger said we have to be more prepared .
Mayor Trimble said if you recall the attorney said he had to
check on this before ruling on it.
Councilman Naish said prior to my being on the council,
there was a person that stated he would pay his share if we
put in concrete streets , I do not know who this was. It was
noted that Mr . Mel Delaney was the person who made the
statement , but was also noted he did not live on the
frontage nor did he have the money to do this with.
Councilman Naish said that was the point when I asked if we
could go to these property owners and see if they would be
willing to help, we have to be fair with everyone. City
Manager John Pitstick said yes, we could do it . Mayor
Trimble said that was a good ideal , but it did not have
anything to do with what we are doing tonight .
Councilman Messenger said we need to be fully prepared so we --�.
do not have to table items . Councilman DiTota said he
understood but we need to not approve if there is a question
and then have a law suit later. Councilman DiTota wanted to

know if there was a problem in doing S. Ballard in two
sections. City Manager John Pitstick said no, we are hoping
to get S. Ballard in front of the school finished prior to
school starting .
