MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: January 21, 2010
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments/ Sanitary Sewer, Water Main and
laterals / Various Locations
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements completed by the City. The proposal is to install sanitary sewer, water main, sewer lateral
th
(new and relay) and water laterals (new) in several locations. The locations are Linden Oaks from 9 Ave
to approximately 450’ south and Shorewood Dr from Nicolet Dr. to 100’ north, these will serve properties
attaching to the City. The other location is Merritt Ave. from Bowen St. to Hazel St. Sanitary sewer
laterals will be relaid with sewer main construction.
The installation of the utilities allows additional lots/areas to be served by City water and sewer services.
The relay of sanitary laterals provides a new water tight lateral in the right of way. The City has a policy to
assess abutting property owners for the cost to provide the service.
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 2010 Capital Improvement Program under Sanitary
Sewer and Water Main sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Steven M. Gohde
Asst. Director of Public Works City Manager
