City officials said that option has a lower short-term cost, but may result in higher long-term costs due to more streets needing re- construction. Ramping up means the owner of a $100,000 home would pay an additional $24.20 in property taxes in 2008, $34.46 in 2009, $52.72 in 2010, $72.16 in 2011, $92.86 in 2012 and $117.29 in 2013. • 22 respondents favored Option 3, termed "accelerated ramping up," which would raise $3,307,184 and provides chip sealing for be- tween 15 and 21 miles of resi- dential streets. City officials said that option splits the difference between the advantages listed for the first two options. UNDER THE accelerated ramping up option, the owner of a $100,000 home would pay an ad- ditional $24.20 in property taxes in 2008, $47.82 in 2009, $80.30 in 2010, then $117.29 in each year from 2011 through 2013. There were 139 surveys re- turned out of 3,500 sent out by the city. That's a return rate of 3.9 percent. Several survey respondents in- cluded written comments. Follow- ing are some examples. The general comments ranged from "About time!" to "No on prop- erty tax. Property tax is not the answer to our problems. Property tax is the pot of gold for all who want money ..." to "Raise sales taxes and have .residents apply for (Local Improvement Districts), like the residents of Capital Hill had to do." "Chip seal is poor substitute for blacktop paving," one respondent wrote. "Why not raise the sales tax and give everyone a chance to pay?"

Option 2 may allow me to live here a while longer," one re- spondent noted. Others pleaded for improve- ments. "Fix the road now! Please!" a respondent wrote. "Git 'er done," wrote another. "Our streets need fixing and waiting won't make it any cheaper or less costly," added another. Of the 139 surveys returned, Option 1 was favored by 48.2 per- cent of the respondents; Option 2 was favored by 13.7 percent; Op- tion 3 was favored by 15.8 percent. There were 31 responses, or 22.3 percent, that favored none of the three options. Also, two letters endorsing Option 1 were received from the Shelton-Mason County paved."
