DATE: February 20, 2014
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Paving, Sidewalk, Driveway and Utilities/Second Local Street Concrete Paving Program
(Central City Area)—Contract 14-05
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 Parkway Avenue
from Frederick Street to North Main Street, Ida Avenue from Frederick Street to Division Street, Central
Street from Church Avenue to West Irving Avenue, West Irving Avenue from Central Street to Division
Street, and South Campbell Road from Ohio Street to 200 feet west of Ohio Street. 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 2014 Capital Improvement Program in the Street,
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Sidewalk and Water Main sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
