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. 22-25
Ripon Lane (West South Park Avenue to the end of Ripon Lane)
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property
owners for improvements to be completed during the asphalt paving and utility
construction of Ripon Lane, from West South Park Avenue to the end of Ripon Lane. 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.

benefiting properties. Funding for the project is included in the 2022 Capital
