RE: Approve Initial Resolution for Special Assessments for Storm Sewer Laterals

910 Alpine Court 2315 West 9th Avenue 1625 Graber Street

1725 Graber Street 1735 Graber Street 1621 Bismarck Avenue
225 South Sawyer Street 1641 Maricopa Drive 2339 Hamilton Street
1265 Huron Court 1845 Cliffview Court 1584 Villa Park Drive

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.
FISCAL IMPACT
Assessments allow the City to recover a portion of the costs associated with projects from
benefiting properties. Funding for the projects is included in the 2021 Capital Improvement
Program in the Storm Sewer section.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
