MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: David C. Patek, Director of Public Works
DATE: June 23, 2011
RE: Amend Initial Resolution for Special Assessments for Asphalt Paving Project on High
Avenue
The Common Council approved an initial resolution (No. 11 -251) for special assessments for this
project at their meeting on June 14, 2011. That resolution indicated the abutting residents would only
be charged for the street paving improvements. It has been determined that special assessments will
also need to be levied for repairs to the existing curb /gutter and sidewalks along the project. I
recommend approval of the proposed amendment to Initial Resolution No. 11 -251.
Respectfully Submitted,
David C. Patek
Director of Public Works
