Corah, 4031 South Fox, appeared before City Council. Mr. Corah stated that he has no objection to the construction of a storm drainage system: however, he wished to voice his objection to the present bill for an ordinance before the Council establishing storm drainage fees. Mr. Corah stated that the fees were unfair and inequitable and cited several examples of large properties which were primarily paved or devoted to roof area that had a lesser charge than properties with less square footage of roof or paved area. Mr. Corah suggested that a three mill levy be imposed to finance the storm drainage system. Mr. Dallas Tourney, 3180 South University, appeared before City Council. Mr. Tourney stated that he was not opposed to the City's construction of a storm drainage system but that he was opposed to the fee schedule. Mr. Tourney stated that the schedule was unfair to apartment owners and cited various examples of this inequity. Mr. Tourney suggested that either a mill levy or a charge based on the square footage of non- absorbent areas be established. Mr. Jim Smith of the Julia Temple Center, 3401 South Lafayette Street, appeared before City Council. Mr. Smith stated that the only fair and equitable way to finance the storm drainage system was on the basis of taxation. Mr. Robert Starkloff, 305 West Caley Circle, appeared before City Council. Mr. Starkloff stated that he objected to the fee schedule as proposed and that he preferred the storm drainage system to be financed through a mill levy. Mr. A. L. Guthner, 2791 South Logan, appeared before City Council. Mr. Guthner stated that in the 1920's a storm drainage system had been put in and paid for by the residents of his area.

Mr. Jones stated that he was representing a number of property owners in Storm Sewer District No. 1, which was constructed during the 1920's, and that it was unfair to assess the area again. Mr. Meyers of the 4600 block of South Sherman reappeared before City Council a and stated that flood drainage and uncontrolled storm sewers were a blight on the entire city and that the entire city should take part in the storm drainage program. Mrs. Frank G. Redle, 2719 South Bannock, appeared before City Council and requested that those individuals residing in Storm Sewer District No. 1 should not pay for other people's problems. Upon question, Mrs. Redle stated that she believed the system serving her area was adequate. Mr. Lee Jones reappeared before City Council and stated that the catch basins which are presently serving the area encompassed are a part of the problem. Likewise, the development which has occurred east of Logan has contributed to the flooding problem. Upon question of Council, ten people, owners of apartment houses, stood in opposition to the proposed fee schedule. Mr. Steve Stopa, 10 South Pennsylvania, appeared before City Council. Mr. Stopa stated that the present storm sewer financing bill as it related to apartments was unfair and he voiced his objection. Mr. Al Snyder, 60 South Lincoln, appeared before City Council and stated that he concurred with the other apartment owners. Mr. Snyder stated that he was not opposed to the development of a storm drainage system but that he believed the proposed method of financing was inequitable. Mr. John Rusk, 3000 South Acoma, appeared before City Council. Mr. Rusk stated that he was in favor of a mill levy to finance the storm drainage system. Mr. Richard Walker, 2799 South Wasington, appeared before City Council and stated that a competitive additional charge for storm sewers was an expense which could not be passed on to the tenant. Mr. John Hern, 3909 South Washington, appeared before City council and stated that in his opinion a mill levy to finance the storm drainage system would be equitable. Mr. Meyers of the 4600 block of South Sherman reappeared before City Council and stated that the storm drainage problem must be solved. Upon question of Council, forty-eight individuals indicated that they would be willing to help sell a general obligation bond issue to the voters. Mr. Ray Ludwig, 2888 South Ogden, appeared before City Council and stated that before the storm sewer system coul9 be financed one must know what the system will do, how much it will cost, and it if will really solve the problem. Councilman Brown stated that he interpreted Mr. Ludwig's remarks as an attitude of defeatism and that the people would know what kind of system they would be financing before they would vote upon it. Mr. Ludwig reappeared before City Council and sta~ed that he was not opposed to the storm sewer system itself but opposed to the proposed method of financing the system.
