MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works 5�
DATE: June S, 2017
RE: Amend Resolution No. 17-232 Amend Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Sawdust District Improvements / Contract 17-22
BACKGROUND
The initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for improvements to be
completed during the reconstruction of the following streets: 14th Avenue, from South Main Street to
Pioneer Drive; South Park Avenue, from South Main Street to the eastern terminus; and South Main
Street, from 14th Avenue to South Park Avenue, was approved on April 25th and was amended on May
9th. The assessable work listed included grading and graveling, 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). This resolution is to amend the list of streets to include East 11th
Avenue, from South Main Street to the eastern terminus.
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 project is included in the 2017 Capital Improvements Program in the Street,
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Sidewalk and Water Main sections due to other projects being under
budget.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the amendment to the initial resolution.
Approved:
