MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works Sin
DATE: September 5, 2013
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Various Utilities &Asphalt Paving on Adams 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 the cul-de-sac on Adams Avenue. The
assessable work includes extending Adams Avenue and creation of a cul-de-sac bulb. This work also
includes required utility work.
ANALYSIS
The resolution allows City staff to proceed with preparing assessments for the abutting properties. A
public hearing would normally need to be held and a final resolution needs to be approved by the Council
prior the assessments being levied on the properties. The next agenda item will approve the waiver of
special assessment notices and public hearing related to these improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT
Assessments normally allow the City to recover a portion of the costs associated with projects from
benefiting properties. The pavement extension of Adams Avenue is being completely funded by the
adjoining condominium property owners. The project is included in the 2013 Capital Improvement
Program in the Street and Storm Sewer sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
