RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Snell Road Sanitary Sewer and Asphalt Paving—Contract 15-14
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 Snell Road sanitary interceptor sewer. The
assessable work will include installation of sanitary sewer main, laterals (new and relay), grade and
gravel the street, and asphalt pavement. The limits of the project are approximately Stearns Drive to
2,300' east of USH 41.
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 2015 Capital Improvement Program in the Sanitary
Sewer section.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
