I do not wish to go into the projects listed. I would.like to call your attention to a project that is not listed. In 1967, the neighborhoods called Aurrnan & Newark were annexed into the Town of Carmel. (Per Hamilton Co 11/221/67 ANNEXED). During the Court Case Homeplace V City of Carmel, The City of Carmel stated they would have to spend a great deal of money to bring the streets up. to city standards.. There has been mentioned Chesterton (annexed 12/2005) was in need of updating- of roads and drainage. I am sure others are in need. In the 42 years Auman and Newark have been apart of the City (or Town) of Carmel, little has been dune to address the streets and drainage. A plan was proposed (http://cocdocs.ci.carmel.in..us/Weblink/Browse.aspx) and never implemented. Streets, sidewalks & drainage are not glamour issues. Most of the time the unglamorous projects are pushed to the bottom of the pile.. This is a proper and required part of the city's responsiblitys.
