Paving Board Urged to Study Poplar Street Assessments
Mayor J Grant Keys proposed forming an equalization board of three independent freeholders to review Poplar Street improvement assessments. The board would hear objections, study changes, and report to City Council, with Sept 3 as the next meeting date. The plan uses a benefit method causing corner lots to pay less frontage than interior lots. A $271 storm sewer tap-in charge was added for interior lots not connected to the storm sewer.
