     SPECIAL ITEMS

     Court #578 Item #30, Speed Humps

     Lane south of 14th Avenue from Oak Street to Spruce Street

     This project was initiated at the request of owners who wanted speed humps installed after the lane was paved. 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.
