III_ Public Comments:
Chairman Patel introduced new board member Dr. Hugh Patton.
Mr. Jerry Koza of 2823 Knob Hill spoke regarding the future potential of Highway 35 and believes that the
above ground power lines on Highway 35 are the biggest problem. Mr. Koza also stated that an additional
problem is the utilities on either side of Highway 35. Property owners on the east side of Highway 35 have
to cross the road to bring service to their property and property owners on the west side of Highway 35
have to also cross the road to have sewer lines installed on their property. Mr. Koza suggested that the
City provide services on both sides of Highway 35.
