Attorney Karen Klein and several property owners were present regarding the Holmen's 2nd and Holmen's 3rd Subdivision Street Improvement Districts. Resident Jerry Kern stated that he spoke with Mr. Milton Holmen, who owns property adjacent to the proposed special assessment district, and Mr. Holmen has made a commitment to contribute $1,000.00 per lot for each of the seven lots which he owns at the time that his lots are sold. Attorney Klein presented a petition to the Commission whereby four property owners who had originally signed a petition opposing the project are now in favor of the Holmen's 2nd Subdivision Street Improvement District. She also presented a letter from one property owner who had not committed himself either way but will now fully support the road paving project. Mrs. Klein stated that 76.5% of the property owners in Holmen's 2nd Subdivision are now in favor of the project and 23.5% are against it. A question was raised last week on whether the Holmen's 3rd Subdivision seal-coat project needed to be a special assessment district. Robert Hoy, States Attorney, informed the Board that State Statute allows an improvement district to be created for repaving or maintenance and upkeep. Attorney Klein stated that the property owners in Holmen's 3rd Subdivision understand that having the project bonded will cost them an additional $6,300.00 with the administrative fees of the County, the engineering fees and the attorneys fees but they feel it would be too difficult to collect the money themselves for the road improvement project.
