Bill Weber, 305 Shelhamer Circle. Mr. Weber commended Council on the work done downtown that it was appreciated by many. The reason he was at the meeting was that the street he lives on Shelhamer Circle and Shelhamer Drive is an embarrassment to live on. He explained that the road crew keeps putting fill in and patch work and it sticks to everything and is brought into houses. Also the cracks are opening and grass is growing in it. Mr. Weber stated he did not mind paying higher taxes if the roads were kept up. He stated he talked to Tom Schruers of Public Works told him that he was satisfied with the sealing job and the material was the same used on all highways. He explained there was more patches than street and he had lived there for 13 years and never had the road been paved. He felt it was the original road. He asked Council to check into these roads and it would be very obvious that they need to be fixed. He asked what the follow up procedure would be. Mayor Allen stated he appreciated his time and that Tom Schruers would get a memo to the Council of his review of the situation and his forthcoming plans for that area. We will get back to you shortly or the Manager will when he returns. Caroline Rhodes also asked that the Council be updated on what streets are being paved and when Shelhamer was last paved and when it comes back into rotation. Robert Gray stated he thought cold patch was used and it doesn't harden. Jean Davis stated she thought it was crack sealer and it really is ugly but saves roads. George Finney stated there are only so many streets we can do in a year and Council needs Tom Schruers comments on this. Caroline Rhodes stated that Council used funds from liquid fuels for equipment this year and not paving.
