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 West Lincoln
Avenue, from Elmwood Avenue to Jackson Street, and McKinley Street, from West
Lincoln Avenue to Scott Avenue. 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).

McKinley\Project_Information\Correspondence\Memo\23-02 Initial Resolution Memo_11-3-22.docx Page 2 of 2
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 2023 Capital
Improvement Program in the Street, Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Water Main, Sidewalk,
and Traffic Improvement sections (Account #03210410-6801-04302/Contract Control-
Paving-23-02 W Lincoln Ave-McKinley St Reconst, #03210410-6804-04302/Contract
