Residents ask council to protect historic home, press for recycling refunds and raise parade and parking concerns
Summary
During public comment residents asked the council to exempt a 140-year-old home from development plans tied to the Kaylor Ridge project, asked about refunds for interrupted recycling service, and thanked council for parade participation while raising parking and leaf-collection concerns.
Several residents used the public-comment portion of the Dec. 6 meeting to raise concerns and offer thanks.
Michael McRee of 1191 Kennsington Circle said a house that would be affected by the proposed Kaylor Ridge project is about 140 years old and asked the council to protect that home via an exemption. David White of 305 E. 20th Street asked how to find recorded meetings on YouTube via the city website and whether the council responds to citizen requests made during public comment. Annie Sifford of 145 S. Caldwell (identified in the minutes as Pastor Sifford) and Diane Sherril thanked council members and staff for participating in the East Newton Christmas Parade; Sherril also expressed concern about parking and about leaves that had not been picked up. Matt Johnson of 812 Constitution Ave. said he was concerned about paying for recycling and then not receiving the service and asked whether citizens would receive refunds.
Mayor Eddie Haupt asked if anyone else wished to speak; no further speakers appeared.
