an area L.I.D. would be a uniformly constructed street system, instead of a piecemeal system which would take some time for all of the incremental improvements to connect. At such time as the street is constructed, property owners would be assessed based on their benefit. At this time, it is unknown if the L.I.D. will proceed.

These schools will provide relief in the south end for a short time. However, enrollments will increase again and a bond issue will likely be needed in the 1990's. The School District previously requested growth mitigation contributions from developers, but ceased those requests when the bond issue passed in 1986. 39.
