DATE: April 5, 2018
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Libbey/Nicolet Watershed / North Main Street Area Detention Basin — Contract 18-02
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: Geneva Street from
Bacon Avenue to the north end of Geneva Street, Comet Street from 450' north of West Smith Avenue to
the north end of Comet Street, Jackson Street from Bacon Avenue to 450' north of Bacon Avenue, and
North Main Street from Libbey Avenue to Packer Avenue, as part of the construction of a detention basin
and upgrades to the storm sewer system in the surrounding area. The assessable work will include
concrete curb and gutter, asphalt pavement, sidewalk (new and relay), 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 Storm
Sewer section.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
