DATE: June 22, 2011
RE: Initial Resolution for the Lining of Sanitary Sewer Main and Sanitary Sewer Laterals on
Merritt Avenue from Bowen Street to Hazel Street and on Grove Street from East Nevada
Avenue to East Bent Avenue
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements completed by the City. Merritt Avenue from Bowen Street to Hazel Street and Grove
Street from East Nevada Avenue to East Bent Avenue are proposed to receive sanitary sewer lateral
linings. The assessable work includes lining of the sanitary sewer laterals.
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 available in the 2011 Sanitary Sewer Construction Section of the Capital Improvement
Program.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted,
Approved:
