MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: January 7, 2010
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments for Paving, Sidewalk, Driveway
and Utilities for North Main Street from the Fox River to Irving Avenue, including side
streets
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements completed during the reconstruction of Main Street. Also included are side streets to tie in
the existing utilities and pavement. The assessable work will include concrete pavement, asphalt
pavement, sidewalk, driveway aprons, sanitary sewer laterals and storm sewer laterals.
ANALYSIS
The resolution allows City Staff to proceed with 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 allow the City to recover a portion of the costs associated with projects from benefiting
properties. Funding for the projects is included in the 20 10 Capital Improvement Program in the Street,
Storm Sewer and Sanitary Sewer sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Steven M. Gohde
Asst. Director of Public Works City Manager
