MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: March 22, 2012
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Poberezny Road Asphalt Paving—Contract 12-14
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners, within the
city limits, for improvements to be completed during the asphalt paving of Poberezny Road (Waukau
Avenue to Waupun Road).
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
section.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Steven M. Gohde, P.E. Mark Rohloff
