MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: August 5, 2010
RE: Amend Initial Resolution 10 -220 for Special Assessments / Hot Mix Overlay and Utilities /
Washburn St. and Planeview Drive
BACKGROUND
This resolution is to amend the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners
for improvements completed by the City. Planeview Drive was not included with the previous resolution.
The corrected limits are Washburn Street from Fisk Avenue to Ripple Avenue and Planeview Drive from
STH 26 to Fisk Avenue. Fisk Avenue from Washburn Street to 50' west is also included within the
assessment area. The proposed project is an asphalt overlay with widened paved shoulders. The
assessable work includes asphalt pavement, grading /graveling and paved drive aprons.
ANALYSIS
The resolution allows City Staff to proceed with the estimates for the project 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 available in the 2010 Street Construction Section of the Capital Improvement Program.
Funds will come from the annual mill and overlay section and additional funds available from contracts
coming in under budget.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the amended initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted,
Steven M. Gohde
Asst. Director of Public Works
