Pearson, trustees of the Trust Agreement of Carla M. Pearson dated April 22, 2014 pursuant to which the City will reconstruct and pave approximately 700 feet of Whittier Street from Claymore street to their home at 2125 Whittier street and the Pearsons will agree that their homestead will be assessed for 100% of the costs thereof which are currently estimated at $163,000.
