improvements to be completed during the reconstruction of the following streets: Osceola from the Fox
River to Algoma Boulevard, Elmwood Avenue from Algoma Boulevard to Vine Avenue, John Avenue from
Elmwood Avenue to McKinley Street, Church Ave from Franklin Street to Main Street, and Packer Avenue
from Algoma Boulevard to 100' west of Clover Street. Also included are side streets to tie in the existing
utilities and pavement. Utility work and patching will occur on Algoma Boulevard The assessable work
will include concrete pavement, asphalt pavement, sidewalk, driveway aprons, sanitary sewer laterals
(new and relay), storm sewer laterals (new and relay) and water laterals (new and relay).
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 2011 Capital Improvement Program in the Street,
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Sidewalk and Water Main sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
