MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public WorksS��
DATE: May 3, 2018
RE: Approval of Initial Resolution for Special Assessments for Pavement, Aprons,
Sidewalk, and Utilities Relating to Contract No. 18-13
BACKGROUND
This resolution is the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners for
improvements to be completed during the construction on the following streets: Punhoqua Street from
Maple Avenue to Rainbow Drive, Graham Avenue from Fox Street to North Eagle Street, Fox Street from
Graham Avenue to Sawyer Creek, Buchanan Avenue from North Eagle Street to Sawyer Creek, North
Eagle Street from Maple Avenue to Sawyer Creek, Maple Avenue from Punhoqua Street to North Eagle
Street, Hawk Street from Buchanan Avenue to Sawyer Creek, in the easement for vacated Arthur Avenue,
and Hughes Street from West Waukau Avenue to 1,900 feet southwest of Oregon Street. The assessable
work will include 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).
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 2017 and 2018 Capital Improvement Program in
the Street, Storm Sewer, and Sanitary Sewer sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the initial resolution.
Approved:
