Protesting City Resurface Charge on Fifth and Sycamore
Property owners along Fifth and Sycamore streets filed suit seeking injunctions to halt the special assessments tied to last month resurfacing. Plaintiffs include H. T. Hirisher, Ellis Hotel Co., Fowler Bros. Realty, and multiple local firms and individuals. The city council taxed the $2,962 cost to abutting properties without necessary resolutions, bids, or notices, and disputes focus on legality and cost legitimacy of the tar and ballast method known as tarvia. The case hinges on technical code interpretations and who should bear the resurfacing expense.
