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). 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.
