The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. <br />• Helen Booth informed the Board that she was the instigator <br />of all this. She spoke heatedly of the perils caused by the <br />darkness of the area and the need for street lighting, <br />emphasizing the additional hazard caused by those riding bicycles <br />with no lights on them. Mrs. Booth stated that she is in favor <br />of anything that is progress; she realized that the lights will <br />cost her, but if you want a thing, you pay for it. She advised <br />that she has been working towards getting lights since December <br />of 1986, and she tried to contact all the people re the petition <br />and had only a few negatives. <br />Bill Koldeen, 715 18th Ave., county resident for 23 years, <br />noted that in that period his taxes have gone up 600%, and he has <br />seen very little improvements in that time other than that the <br />paving in front of his house has been resurfaced one time. He <br />did agree that this area needs street lights badly. He believed <br />that everyone will benefit from them, and he was willing to pay <br />his share. <br />Robert Heinz, 6th St., wished to go on record that the <br />street lighting district for this area should be approved as they <br />desperately need lights, particularly up 8th Street. <br />Ethel Gell of Poinciana Park spoke in favor of street <br />lighting. <br />OMB Director Baird reported that letters have been received <br />from residents of the area, as follows: <br />In Support of Lights <br />Virginia Bliss <br />Josephine Foschini <br />Edna R.
