A public hearing was held for the alley tarring by the trailer court at the July 2 council meeting. The issue was tabled until the next council meeting to be held on Tuesday, July 17. The cost of tarring the alley would be $5300 with 80% of the cost passed on to the homeowners. There were citizens on both sides of the issue. Those in favor of it felt it was a street, why not pave it? It has been patched for 13 years and is hard on maintenance equipment and drivers go around potholes into their yards.
