MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works s �l
DATE: March 7, 2013
RE: Amend Initial Resolution for Special Assessments
Paving, Sidewalk, Driveway and Utilities / Second Local Street Concrete Paving Program
North and South Central Area—Contract 13-04
BACKGROUND
This resolution is to amend the initial resolution for allowing the City to assess abutting property owners
for improvements to be completed during the reconstruction of the following streets: West New York
Avenue from the Fox River to Spruce Street and West and East 10th Avenue from Oregon Street to the
east end of East 10th Avenue. 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). The limits of this project need to be extended to allow for the
connection to existing utilities and pavement. The skew of the intersections has required additional length
to properly reconnect.
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 2013 Capital Improvement Program in the Street,
Storm Sewer, Sanitary Sewer, Water Main, and Sidewalk sections.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the amendment to the initial resolution.
Approved:
