MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works 5~'9
DATE: September 7, 2017
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Cold Mix Asphalt Paving (West 7th Avenue, Bauman Street, and Minnesota Street
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements completed by the City. The streets listed are proposed to receive a cold mix asphalt
overlay. Property owners will be assessed according to the City's Assessment policy for the work that
performed abutting to their property. The limits of the work are proposed to be: West 7th Avenue, from
Oregon Street to Minnesota Street; Bauman Street, from Van Buren Avenue to Buchanan Avenue; and
Minnesota Street, from West 201h Avenue to West 23rd Avenue.
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 to 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 Annual Budget (Streets-General/100-0430).
The estimated cost of materials is approximately $64,700.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
