At that time he said the residents can decide what direction to go on the project. At that meeting several county staff and commissioners will be in attendance to present figures on the cost of the project to pave eight streets in Silver Springs and also the resulting cost to the property owners. Lyon County Comptroller Rita Evasovic told the board that no figures had been devised until the night before but that a total of $138,000 in expenditures to the county had been deducted. She said this could be paid by the district in two ways, either per assessed valuation at 3 or 4 cents per $100 or per parcels in what would be an assessment of $172.72 per parcel. A map of the area affected was shown with boundaries following the wording of the ordinance with the western border being 95A and the northern boundary being U.S.

Bud Sage of Silver Springs asked why the entire Silver Springs subdivision wasn't included, which would reduce the assessment per person. him time to secure private counsel in the matter.

Hamer said the project would provide a safer community in the flood protection area that had been asked for for years.

Commissioner Don Cummings said the project would raise the value of residents' property in Silver Springs because there would be the protection from flooding. Harvey explained that initially the project involved money from the county general fund, federal money (SCS, which also provided design and engineering) and money and land from the developer. One Silver Springs residents said he had been a contractor for years and wanted a guarantee from the eventual contractor that the roadway would still be there after the first rain. He didn't mind paying the taxes as long as the road could survive. Harvey asked that advertising be done so all SS residents would know about the Feb.

13 town board meeting and could come participate and provide input. Evasovic and Dunn will be attending while at least three commissioners said they also would be in attendance, after Silver Springs resident Burt McAtee asked how many commissioners would attend that SS town board meeting. High School students invited to enter Legion oratorical contest All high school students An earlier discussion of possibly closing all but one of the eight (canal) crossings was brought up and it was initially thought this would reduce the cost if only one road was kept open. But Les Dunn, Lyon County Road Superintendent, said that idea was only to reduce the county's liability and that putting in fencing to block the road would pretty much offset the savings from the closed road. Dunn listed some costs for the project he had received from a few contractors for paving or concrete on the roads.

Sage said 'initially the project called for gravel on the roads and for keeping all of them open, and he asked why it had changed to paving. One Silver Springs resident asked what "street beautification" meant. He said he was a couple of blocks from the canal and on high ground and he asked how the district could help him. Harvey said the project had a two-fold benefit of preventing flooding and to get the streets paved. Commissioner Maryanna Hamer said the term came from Nevada Revised Statutes and was a.

way to get a funding resource.
