MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: February 3, 2011
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments for Paving, Sidewalk, Driveway
and Utilities Second Local Paving Project — South Side
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements to be completed during the reconstruction of the following streets: Knapp Street from
Witzel Avenue to 10 Avenue, 4 Avenue from Knapp Street to Idaho Street, 5th Avenue from Knape
Street to Idaho Street, 5 Avenue from Ohio Street to Michigan Street, and Michigan Street from 5 h
Avenue to 4 Avenue. Also included are side streets to tie in the existing utilities and pavement. Utility
work and patching will occur on Knapp Street from Witzel Avenue to Campbell Creek and on Michigan
Street from 4 Avenue to the Fox River. 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.
Respectfully Submitted,
