MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: January 19, 2012
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Paving, Sidewalk, Driveway and Utilities / Third Local Street Concrete Paving Program
Central and South Sides—Contract 12-05
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: West 6th Avenue from
Knapp Street to Ohio Street, West 7th Avenue from Ohio Street to 400 feet west of Ohio Street, West 10th
Avenue from Kansas Street to Knapp Street, West 7th Avenue from Knapp Street to Sawyer Street, and
Rugby Street from West 8th Avenue to West 6th 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 needs to be held and a final resolution needs 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, P.E. Mark Rohloff
