137 Mr. Carmen said, regarding Viacom, he is checking with them regarding calls made to our Senior Citizens informing them of special sales and he will report at the next Council Meeting. There are some problems with new.installations. He suggests that anyone having problems contact him, Mr. Amendola, or the Village Hall so Mr. Amendola can check that it has been installed,properly.; Viacom is now offering several new channels. Also, they have a lock box available, a device that enables you to lock the cable channels, especially for parents who do not want their children watching the.cable channels when they are not home. Mr. Carmen reported the Special Projects Committee is discussing the formation of a group of parents to be the "Pumpkin Patrol" who will try to make sure the children have a safe Halloween by patroling the streets Halloween evening. He will be discussing this project with Chief Stevens. OLD BUSINESS . Beech Hill Assessment Equalization Board Report - Mr. Feneli said Council received copies of the report from the Assessment Equalization Board. It stated.that following tonight's hearing, they recommend to Council.the adoption of the revised estimated assessments prepared by Engineer Hovancsek, dated September 9th. He explained the procedures involved if Council either accepted or rejected this. Discussion was held regarding the.possibility of the road being paved this year. Mrs. Hanus said she felt the quotation trom the C1eveland Trinidad Paving Company should be considered. _ Mr. Hovancsek explained the proposal by the Cleveland Trinidad.Paving Company did. not conform in ma.ny areas and would not even be worthy of consideration. Mr. Carmen stated the Beech Hill residents want a road that the Village will accept for maintenance. According to Mr. Hovancsek''s report, the proposed paving by the Cleveland Trinidad Company would not be acceptable. Mr. Carmen said he agrees with the Assessment Equalization Board's decision to raise the County's share of the assessment but disagrees with the increase to 3/4 on the corner homes. Hillcrest policy, as he is aware, is not to assess a property owner.more than one full unit (combining the assessments of both streets), unless they have driveways coming off both streets and would clearly benefit from the paving. These property owners would be assessed a total of 1 1/4% which he does not feel is fair. The other members of Council agreed with Mr. Carmen. Mr. Feneli explained there was no requirement for Council to make a decision either to accept or reject the Assessment Equalization Board's decision•tonight. He felt.Council could ask.the Board to reconsider these two increased assessments and maybe they could reach an agreement.
