To be on the next agenda for decision.
c. Jake Saulsbury - Bolton & Menk i. Street & Utility Reconstruction Draft Feasibility Plan
City Engineer Jake Saulsbury presented a draft feasibility study for street reconstruction. Mr. Saulsbury explained the scope of work. Some streets will be heavier than previous for the purpose of truck traffic. Storm sewer will be rebuilt/added throughout. Most of the water line system is to be replaced due to many homes not having water mains running in front of the house. Sewer lines scope is less due to most mains being in good shape, though lining will continue to take place. The numbers presented are preliminary based on utilities. The current recommendation is to assess a portion of the street work and water mains. An assessment policy would need to be in place and to keep assessment at a level that won’t put undue burden on individual properties. Mr. Saulsbury presented an option to assess water mains on a per unit basis, though street is generally done by front footage. Many properties in this part of town do not have frontage on City streets due to state and county roads running through town. Suggestion to consider per unit to be more fair. Assessments were explained to go on tax statements, and the maximum term is based on the term of the bond the City issues to pay for the project. There is an option to have appraisals ahead of the project to be able to prove benefit to property owner. After discussion, the City Council agreed to proceed with a 50% assessment policy for water and street, with caps on assessments for water and street portions. An open house will be held ahead of future public hearings. Project website currently being hosted on City’s website. Council recommends proceeding with topography work.
