MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works S

RE: Approve Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Storm Sewer Laterals — Various Locations
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 mini storm sewers and storm laterals. The
assessable work will include storm sewer laterals (new and relay) and surface drains. During the
construction of the requested storm sewer laterals, these properties can be served with limited additional
disturbance.
The locations included in this resolution are:
1723 Southland Avenue
1705 White Swan Drive
209 Mason Street
1804 Doemel Street
2261 Allerton Drive
2269 Allerton Drive
ANALYSIS
The resolution allows City staff to proceed with preparing assessments for the abutting properties. A
public hearing needs to be held for properties that have not signed a waiver and a final resolution needs to
be approved by the Council prior the assessments being levied on the properties. Completing these storm
sewer laterals with the requested laterals is the most cost effective way for the laterals to be installed.
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 Storm
Sewer section.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
