MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works 54•25
DATE: March 21, 2013
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Storm Sewer Laterals—West 7th Avenue
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements to be completed during the construction of mini storm sewers and storm laterals. The
assessable work will include storm sewer laterals (new and relay) and surface drains.
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 2013 Capital Improvement Program in the Storm
Sewer section.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
