Mayor Armstrong stated we know we have no paving equipment now and we must start some where, the question is if we spend all the money on equipment what are we going to pay for the material with? Mayor Armstrong said the roller is one thing we do need, even for patching work this is needed, what we should do is purchase the roller and rent a tiller, leaving the money for material. Mr. Jim Evans of Florida Equipment Co. was present and advised the council that tillers are available on a rental basis for approximately $1,300.00 per month. Mayor Armstrong said we can hold a public hearing on the paving of new streets and then go 1/3 assessments to the property owners on each side of the street and the City pay the other 1/3.
