MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works A4C
DATE: April 4, 2013
RE: Amend Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Storm Sewer Laterals—Various Locations
BACKGROUND
The initial resolution for these assessments was approved at the Common Council meeting on March 26,
2013. This resolution is being amended in order to correct one of the addresses listed on the resolution,
and remove one property that did not need to be listed on the resolution. The addresses that will be
assessed are:
440 West 7th Avenue
452 West 7th Avenue
2385 Abbey Avenue
2207 White Swan Drive
1833 Doemel Street
931 Dove Street
This amended resolution will allow 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 amended initial resolution.
Approved:
