RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Paving, Sidewalk, Driveway and Utilities / Second Local Street Concrete Paving
Program North and West Sides — Contract 17-05
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: New York Avenue
from Wisconsin Street to North Main Street, East Murdock Avenue from Harrison Street to Bowen Street,
Maricopa Drive from 330' northwest of Dickinson Avenue to Covington Drive, and Dickinson Avenue
from Maricopa Drive to South Washburn 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 2017 Capital Improvement Program in the Street,
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Sidewalk and Water Main sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
