RE: Approve 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. 22-04
Algoma Boulevard (100’ South of Wisconsin Street to 100’ North of Congress
Avenue)
Vine Avenue (Algoma Boulevard to High Avenue)
High Avenue (250’ Northwest of Vine Avenue to 100’ Southeast of Vine
Avenue)
Vacated Blackhawk Street (Fox River to Algoma Boulevard)
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners
for improvements to be completed during the reconstruction of Algoma Boulevard, from
Wisconsin Street to Congress Avenue, and Vine Avenue, from Algoma Boulevard to High Street.
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 directed staff
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 project is included in the 2022 Capital Improvement
Program in the Street, Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Sidewalk, Water Main, and Traffic
Improvement sections (Account #03210410-6801-04204/Contract Control-Paving-22-04 Algoma
