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 Third Local Paving Project — North 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: Monroe Street from
Melvin Avenue to Irving Avenue, Lincoln Avenue from Monroe Street to the railroad tracks, New York
Avenue from Main Street to Jefferson Street, Custer Avenue from Harrison Street to Broad Street,
Tennessee Avenue from Jefferson Street to Broad Street, Eastman Street from New York Avenue to
Custer Avenue, and Broad Street (west of the railroad tracks) from New York Avenue to Nevada Avenue.
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,
Ate...
