Objections for the above project met the number required to defeat, but the assessed value represented by this objection has not met the required 50% of total assessed value. Due to the majority of property owners objecting, we recommend this project not proceed. Capital Funds Funds for the City's share of the projects are available from existing Engineering Department Basic Capital Accounts or are subject to approval of the 1997 Streets Basic Capital Budget. * * * * *
