• Work that is underground:
o New or replaced storm sewer laterals within the street right-of-way
o Replacing sanitary sewer and water laterals within the street right-of-way

project limits

Department Engineering & Utilities to move forward with preparing final plans for these
improvements.
The letters also included information about how the Vehicle Registration Fee affects special
assessments and the planned public hearing for special assessments, which is tentatively
scheduled for May 2026.
