RE: Approve Initial Resolution for Special Assessments for Asphalt Pavement,
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. 23-09
Bradley Street (West 28th Avenue to West Waukau Avenue)
West 28th Avenue (100’ west of Bradley Street to 100’ east of Bradley Street)
West Waukau Avenue (100’ west of Bradley Street to 100’ east of Bradley
Street)
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners
for improvements to be completed during the asphalt and utility construction on Bradley Street
from West 28th Avenue to West Waukau Avenue. The assessable work may include asphalt
pavement, 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 to 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
