MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: January 5, 2012
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments — Contract 12-04, Paving,
Sidewalk, Driveway and Utilities/ First Local Street Concrete Paving Program — 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: W. 12th Avenue from
Ohio Street to Oregon Street, Michigan Street from 11th Avenue to W. South Park Avenue, W. 17th
Avenue from Ohio Street to Iowa Street, Michigan Street from W. 17th Avenue to W. 18th Avenue, W. 15th
Avenue from Oregon Street to East End (approximately 300 feet East of S. Main Street). 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 2012 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, Approved:
Steven M. Gohde
Asst. Director of Public Works City Manager
