IMPROVEMENT RESOLUTION NO. 3450 AMENDED AND CONFIRMED AND BID ADVERTISING APPROVED The following letter was submitted to the Board: "Board of Public Works Gentlemen: October 31, 1977 We request that you reconsider your action of October 24, 1977 of rescinding Improvement Resolution No. 3450. Instead, we would request that you decide: 1. That the benefits did not equal or exceed the costs of the five (5) property owners who objected to the project; and 2. That without sewer service to the above five (5) properties, sewer service to the two (2) most remote properties is not practicable from this project; and 3. That for the properties of.James S. and Darlene Gutknecht, 1227 Berkshire Drive, South Bend and Richard A. and Sharon R. Finley, 5633 Abshire, South Bend, that the benefits do equal or exceed the assessments. If you should so decide then we believe it would be appropriate to confirm Improvement Resolution No.*3450 as amended and reduced in scope. . To illustrate the proposal, we have attached a preliminary plan sheet which depicts the more modest project. Finally, if all of the above comes to pass, we would further request that you approve the title sheet and advertise for bids November 11 and 18, 1977 with a bid opening of November 21, 1977. Very truly yours, s/ David A. Wells, P. E., Manager Bureau of Design and Administration
