Only one concern, property of Robert Helmerick, in 2013 his property had repairs including resurfacing part of East 4^th Street. He paid for these repair to the city. Now because of the road improvement completed by the city, does he still have to pay the assessment? More discussion will take place at the council meeting before the approval is accepted.
