MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works S*
DATE: July 2, 2014
RE: Amend Initial Resolution 07-285 for Special Assessments for Sanitary Sewer Adjacent to
Sawyer Creek(Fox Tail Lane to Clairville Road)
BACKGROUND
This resolution is to amend Initial Resolution No. 07-285, which allows the City to assess abutting
property owners for improvements completed by the City. Sanitary sewer laterals were not included in
the original resolution. Private development plans along the project length were completed in time to
allow for the lateral installation to occur with the main installation.
ANALYSIS
This amended resolution will allow City staff to proceed with revising the final assessments for the project.
A public hearing will need to be held and a revised final resolution will need to be approved by the Council
prior to the revised assessments being levied on the properties.
FISCAL IMPACT
Assessments are an important part of the funding sources needed to perform improvements. These
revisions will allow the City to recover the appropriate amounts, in accordance with the City's Assessment
Policy, for the utility laterals installed to serve the properties.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the amended initial resolution.
Approved:
