MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Justin Gierach, Engineering Division Manager/City Engineer
DATE: March 19, 2020
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments for Concrete Pavement,
Asphalt Pavement, Sidewalk (New and Rehabilitation), Driveway Aprons,
Sanitary Sewer Main and Laterals (New and Relay), Water Main and Laterals
(New and Relay), and Storm Sewer Mains and Laterals (New and Relay)
Relating to Contract No. 20-07
• Washington Avenue (Lake Shore Drive to Hazel Street)
• North Meadow Street (Witzel Avenue to Southland Avenue)
• North Eagle Street (Witzel Avenue to Southland Avenue)
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners
for improvements to be completed during the water main and lateral relay of the following
streets: Washington Avenue from Lake Shore Drive to Hazel Street, North Meadow Street from
Witzel Avenue to Southland Avenue, and North Eagle Street from Witzel Avenue to Southland
Avenue. The assessable work will include concrete pavement, asphalt pavement, sidewalk
(new and rehabilitation), 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. Although Council has created
a committee to review potential changes to the City's special assessment policy, we still need to
follow these special assessment procedures until such time as the policy is amended.

benefiting properties. Funding for the project is included in the 2020 Capital Improvement
Program in the Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, and Water Main sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
