AUDIENCE PA~T~CIP.~iTION Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, congratulated Mr. Kennedy on his appointment as President of Council. He noted that Mr. Jesse was leaving the city soon and complimented him on the job he has done. Best wishes to Mr. Jesse as he moves on. He thanked Mr. Driscoll for the clean-up work done on Great Northern Blvd. bridge. Shirley Fenton, 25827 Byron Drive, expressed concern about the possibility of her neighborhood streets being replaced in asphalt. She was not present at the homeowners meeting on Sunday evening, but she wanted to offer points of consideration regarding the asphalt in her neighborhood: Sandy Ridge and North Park Estates both are getting concrete streets and why has Canterbury Woods been singled out as the only development in the city to undergo an asphalt repair job? If there are extra funds left over from the Sandy Ridge and North Park project, can those funds be filtered in to back up the amount of expense of using concrete as opposed to asphalt. What can the neighborhood expect with regard to regular communication? Historically Canterbury Woods has enjoyed pride in their neighborhood. It has been a preferred place to live with the amenities of pool, park and homeowners association activities. They feel that asphalt would devalue their properties and the area would not be a preferred place to live. Do they have residents have any legal avenues by way of petition, etc. to prevent the work being done over their objections? 9
