of Council. John Slevin made a motion to approve the ordinance without a tax
increase and using the discussed Scenario B to pave roads over the next six years.
Tom Steinberg seconded the motion. Dick Peterson presented photographs and a review
of the street improvements in his area. The photos showed the planning through the
finished product of street improvements, and he commented they were inadequate and
were not getting their money's worth. John Slevin suggested Dick present the
photographs to Stan Berryman and discuss the problem with him. Dick responded he
presented them to the Council because the Council was responsible. Mayor Rose
remarked it was good information, and they would pass the photographs around and
give them to Stan. Mike Cacioppo aired his feelings against the budget. Tom
Steinberg responded to Mike's concerns. Brad Quayle also responded. Andy Norris

Council to continue to make "gutsy" decisions. He stated he applauded their trying
to be thrifty, but they needed to look at the big picture. Hermann Staufer felt
Andy represented his ideas and that the Town was heading in the right direction.
