DATE: February 5, 2015
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Paving, Sidewalk, Driveway and Utilities / First Local Street Concrete Paving Program
(East Side Area—Parkway Avenue and Mt Vernon Street)—Contract 15-04
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: East Parkway Avenue
from North Main Street to Bowen Street and Mount Vernon Street from Washington Avenue to East
Lincoln Avenue. 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 2015 Capital Improvement Program in the Street,
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Sidewalk and Water Main sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
