RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments for Concrete Pavement,
Sidewalk (New), Driveway Aprons, Sanitary Sewer Main and Laterals (New and
Relay), Water Main and Laterals (New and Relay), and Storm Sewer Main and
Laterals (New and Relay) Relating to Contract No. 19-24
• Fernau Court (500' north of West Fernau Avenue to 675' north of West Fernau
Avenue)
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements to be completed during the paving of the following street: Fernau Court from 500' north
of West Fernau Avenue to 675' north of West Fernau Avenue. The assessable work may include
concrete pavement, sidewalk (new), driveway aprons, sanitary sewer mains and laterals (new and
relay), storm sewer mains and laterals (new and relay), and water mains and laterals (new and relay).
ANALYSIS
The resolution allows City staff to proceed with preparing assessments for the abutting properties. A
public hearing needs to be held and a final resolution needs to be approved by the Council prior the
assessments being levied on the properties.
FISCAL IMPACT
Assessments allow the City to recover a portion of the costs associated with projects from benefiting
properties. Funding for the project is included in TIF 19.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
