RE: Initial Resolution / Cold Mix Overlay / Broad Street, Custer Avenue, Dawes Street, Florida
Avenue, and 20 Avenue
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:
Broad Street (New York Avenue to Nevada Avenue)
Custer Avenue (Broad Street to Bowen Street)
Dawes Street (Algoma Blvd. to Campus Place)
Florida Avenue (Knapp Street to Georgia Street)
20 Avenue (Washburn Street to east 600 feet)
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 2010 Annual Budget (Streets - General).
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
