RE: Approve Initial Resolution for Special Assessments for Storm Sewer
Laterals Relating to Contract No. 22-20 / Various Locations
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess property owners for
improvements to be completed during the construction of mini storm sewers and storm
laterals. The assessable work will include the installation of storm sewer laterals and
surface drains.
The following properties have requested to be included in this year’s program:
1930 Simpson Street 1671 Maricopa Drive 2370 Kincaid Avenue
2265 Weldon Court 1631 Covington Drive 907 Washington Avenue
1833 Doemel Street 1515 Deerfield Drive 1275 South Westhaven Drive
2230 Plymouth Street 354 West 20th Avenue 1838 Crane Street
1125 Locust Street 19 West 14th Avenue 1316 Western Street
2330 Allerton Drive 1355 Maricopa Drive 1628 White Swan Drive
1204 Glen Avenue 1135 Locust Street 2367 Hamilton Street
1019 West 6th Avenue 918 Evans Street 1114 Washington Avenue
1245 Greenfield Trail 1427 Ontario Street 1815 White Swan Drive
1115 Greenfield Trail 1825 White Swan Drive 1525 Deerfield Drive
1330 Western Street
The following properties are included in this year’s program due to limited additional

1135 Greenfield Trail 1615 White Swan Drive 1625 White Swan 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 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 projects is included in the 2022 Capital
Improvement Program in the Storm Sewer section (Account #03210410-6804-
04020/Contract Control-Storm Sewer-Annual - Mini Storm Sewers/Laterals.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
