Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works 5cs2 DATE: August 21, 2014 RE: Approve Initial Resolution for Special Assessments 1 Cold -Mix Asphalt Paving (Hawk Street, Rugby Street, Adams Avenue, Repp Avenue, Nebraska Street, and Michigan Street) BACKGROUND This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for improvements completed by the City. The streets listed are proposed to receive a cold mix asphalt overlay. Property owners will be assessed according to the City's Assessment Policy for the work that is performed abutting to their property. The limits of the work are proposed to be: Hawk Street from Buchanan Avenue to 175 feet south, Rugby Street from West 8th Avenue to West 111h Avenue, Adams Avenue from Bauman Street to 500 feet east, Repp Avenue from Punhoqua Street to Eagle Street, Nebraska Street from West 22nd Avenue to West 23"$ Avenue, and Michigan Street from West 18th Avenue to 375 feet south. ANALYSIS The resolution allows City Staff to proceed with the estimates for the projects including preparing assessments for the abutting properties. A public hearing and final resolution need to be approved by the Council prior the assessments being levied on the properties. FISCAL IMPACT Assessments are an important part of the funding sources needed to perform improvements. Funding for the project is included in the 2014 Annual Budget (Streets-General/100-0430). As was mentioned in the weekly newsletter, this budget is the same budget used to purchase fuel, and is anticipated to be overrun by anywhere from $75,000 to $150,000. The proposed cold mix program is scaled back by approximately $15,000 from the 2013 program. RECOMMENDATIONS recommend approval of the initial resolution and to proceed with the cold mix program even with the projected budget overrun. Approved: h Mark A.
