MEMORANDUM

FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: May 21, 2009
RE: Initial Resolution / Cold Mix Overlay / 7 th Ave., 18" Ave., Minnesota St., Ontario St.
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements completed by the City. The streets listed are proposed to receive a cold mix asphalt
overlay. Property owners will be assessed according to the City's Assessment Policy for the work that is
performed abutting to their property. The limits of the work are proposed to be: 7 th Ave. from Minnesota
St. to Iowa St.; 18 Ave. from Georgia St. to Oregon St.; Minnesota St. from 6 th Ave. to 9 th Ave. and
Ontario St. from Bent Ave. to Murdock Ave.
ANALYSIS
The resolution allows City Staff to proceed with the estimates for the projects including preparing
assessments for the abutting properties. A public hearing and final resolution need to be approved by the
Council prior the assessments being levied on the properties.
FISCAL IMPACT
Assessments are an important part of the funding sources needed to perform improvements. Funding for
the project is included in the 2009 Annual Budget (Streets - General).
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted,
Steven M. Gohde
Asst. Director of Public Works
