Before an improvement district is set up, every property owner involved will be notified in writing. A minimum of two legal public hearings will be held, to which the property owners will be invited. The property owners will then have a required period of time to approve or oppose the improvement district before it takes effect. An area north of highway 40 has been designated as stage 1. If approved, property owners in this section will form their own improvement district. If stage 2 is approved in the future, this will be a separate improvement district Only the property owners with land abutting the street improvements will have a voice in the decision. A petition with approximately 200 names was presented to the city council last Tuesday night. Many of the signatures were from people who either were not land owners or were not involved in the proposed improvement district. At this stage, the improvement district is just a proposal. The city council must move to establish an improvement district, two public hearings must be held, and the involved land owners have a period of time to reply before the improvement district becomes a reality. Tomorrow night's meeting is an information session, not one of the required public hearings. Attend the meeting with an open mind, and a pen and pencil in hand. shop opens A hobby and craft shop opened in Altamont about one month ago, owned and operated by Jamie and Kip Thacker.
