TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Justin Gierach, Engineering Division Manager / City Engineer
DATE: February 17, 2022
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. 22-13
Witzel Avenue (100’ west of Wyldewood Drive to 500’ east of North Westhaven Drive)
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements to be completed during the installation of sanitary sewer on Witzel Avenue from 100’ west
of Wyldewood Drive to 500’ east of North Westhaven Drive. The assessable work may 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.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
