MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works -"
DATE: January 18, 2018
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Paving, Sidewalk, Driveway and Utilities / Second Local Street Concrete Paving
Program / Contract 18-05
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements to be completed during construction on the following street: Oregon Street from the Fox
River to West 16th Avenue. The assessable work will include concrete pavement, asphalt pavement,
sidewalk (new and replacement), 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 2018 Capital Improvement Program in the Street,
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Sidewalk, Water Main, and Traffic sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
