Tom Holford -9220 Foxline Dr, Not opposed to treating the roads, the city should totally fund the
dust control process. Reasons for city totally funding are, cost benefit to the city, treatment benefits
all, other road maintenance is funded by the city, more permanent solutions.
Carolyn Holford -9220 Foxline Dr, presented the council with a petition from her neighboring
property owners. The petition asked two questions. 1. The city should fund dust control out of the
general fund and no assessment should be made against property. 2. No dust control should be
applied to our affected roads.

property owners. The petition asked the same questions as the petition presented by Carolyn
Holford. She is concerned about the grading pm Horseshoe Trail.
Pat Hank -9425 Trail Haven Rd, Roads are better than in the past. Should the city consider not
treating roads that may be paved in 2013? Engineer VanderTop thinks not.
Jim Dixon, 10639 Maple Lane, too much material is being applied. Every other year application is
sufficient.
