August 4, 2011
Approve Initial Resolution for Special Assessments / Cold -Mix Asphalt Paving (Bismarck
Avenue, Georgia Street, Hubbard Street, Linwood Avenue, Sheridan Street, Sterling
Avenue and 19h Avenue).
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements completed by the City. The streets listed are proposed to receive a cold mix asphalt
overlay. Property owners will be assessed according to the City's Assessment Policy for the work that is
performed abutting to their property. The limits of the work are proposed to be: Linwood Avenue from
Main Street to Harrison Street, Sterling Avenue from Bowen Street to the Canadian National RR,
Sheridan Street from Murdock Avenue to Bent Avenue, Bismarck Avenue from Sawyer Street to
Guenther Street, Georgia Street from 9 Avenue to 10 Avenue, Hubbard Street from 18 Avenue to 19
Avenue and 19 Avenue from Delaware Street to Michigan Street.
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 included in the 2011 Annual Budget (Streets - General).
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Steven M. Gohde
