BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners
for improvements completed on this project. The project involves the reconstruction of CTH Y
from Jackson Street to County Trunk Highway A. This work will be part of Contract No. 09 -09.
Property owners will be assessed according to the City's Assessment Policy for the work that is
performed abutting or serving their property. This work can include, concrete pavement, asphalt
pavement, curb .and gutter, sanitary sewer main, water main, sanitary laterals (new and relay),
water laterals (new), storm sewer laterals, new sidewalk and concrete driveway approaches.
ANALYSIS
The resolution allows city staff to proceed with preparing the estimated special assessments for
the abutting properties. A public hearing and final resolution need to be approved by the
Common Council prior to the special assessments being levied on the properties.
FISCAL IMPACT
Special assessments are an important part of the funding sources needed to reconstruct streets
and utilities. Estimates of the special assessments are included in the Capital Improvement
Program.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
