27:06Not unless the board directs them take.

27:10Come forward?

27:15Yeah.

27:17Yeah.

27:20Name and address for the clerk.

27:24Thank you. My name is Wendy Tingley. I live at [address removed]. My home is one of the ones that's part of the assessment. I do not feel the paving assessment should go forward at this time. A couple of the reasons are the Homeowners Association did a massive, massive excavation project. on our old golf course. All of our streets were lined with dump trucks. We couldn't get out of our driveways to go to work. We drove across our lawns some days. They had to

27:55do three point turns at the intersections of Water Oak, Island Pine, Salt Tree, all on Woodcrest Drive there. there were dozens of trucks a day lined up on Woodcrest Drive during the excavation project, to the point it was a problem for us. Excuse me. Another reason is the problem of poor patching of our potholes. I did send photos to show what's going on and it has been going on. And thankfully the public works operations

28:25manager did reply to me and said he would handle the current ones. That doesn't address the two inch above the roadway that has been left by other pothole patches, which has caused a lot of our problems. The original ballot that was mailed that was mentioned earlier. was responded by thirty nine percent of our residents. That is not a majority of us. Several of the homes that I spoke to weren't even in the area in August of twenty twenty because they were still under restrictions

28:55of COVID. I don't feel that that was a An accurate representation for our group where we live only because we have such a problem with those dump trucks and the garbage trucks doing those three-point turns. We have no control of that.

29:13Thank you. Yeah. Thank you for your comment. Mr.

29:20Mm-

29:23Commissioner Yeager.

29:24Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um You know, if if you look at this picture right here, this is very similar to Bear Creek. If you look how low that road is, it's below the gutters.

29:32Yeah.

29:32It's gonna keep tough for the water to get to those gutters, and that's what a lot of Bear Creek's problem was over time. When I look at this assessment at at only $2,400, it's extremely reasonable. Fifty-four percent of the people that did respond, meant enough to them to respond, I think it's a clear message they want it done. For those that are low income and can't afford it, they do have other ways they can help Defer the interest as far as this goes, so they can look at that if they have if anyone has trouble with that. But I'm gonna make move motion for approval.

30:00Thank you. My question is the Interest rate at the time says five point zero percent. Will it be the five point zero or the three point two five?

30:13At the time when it was advertised it's five percent. Um bear in mind the board has agreed that um the inf the law of the two prevailing interest rate when we actually put the um project if it passes approval When we actually quit on the tax rule we use. The law of the two.

30:28Thank you.

30:29Okay.

30:31All right, I have a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Yeah, opposed like that. Okay. Motion passed 5-0. Now we move on to P53.
