Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments /Sanitary Sewer
Laterals /Murdock Avenue between Wisconsin Street and Burdick Street
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution which begins the process to allocate special assessments
to the abutting property owners for improvements being completed by the City. The sanitary
sewer on Murdock Avenue at Jackson Street needs to be replaced prior to the roundabout
construction in 2010. Any substandard laterals to adjoining private properties will be replaced
as part of the project to replace the sanitary sewer.
ANALYSIS
The resolution allows City Staff to proceed with preparing special assessments for the abutting
properties. A public hearing and final resolution need to be approved by the Council prior to the
special assessments being levied on the properties.
FISCAL IMPACT
Special assessments allow the City to recover a portion of the costs associated with projects
from benefiting properties. Funding for the projects is included in the 2009 Capital Improvement
Program in the Sanitary Sewer section.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted,
C-- P' +k
