RE: PROPOSED 1994 BITUMINOUS OVERLAY PROJECTS
Dear Council Members:
As presented by Phil Hals at the workshop on Monday, February 21, 1994, Phil is proposing
that two subdivisions within the City have their streets improved with a bituminous overlay.
The two subdivisions in question are Greenhead Acres 2nd Addition and Peterson Addition.
Both of these developments are approximately 15 years old and the streets are showing
significant signs of deterioration. As has been the City's past practice, these types of
improvements are 100% assessed on a unit basis to the benefitting property owners.
In order to initiate such a project, the City Council would have to authorize the preparation
of a feasibility study. Since the project is not petitioned for by the benefitted property
owners, the feasibility study must be authorized by a four-fifths vote of the Council. The
project would then flow through the normal procedures of a public hearing, bidding, and an
assessment hearing prior to awarding the contract. It is anticipated that the assessments on
this project would be in the range of $1,500 per unit. The most recent overlay project which
was assessed happened approximately four to five years ago, and the rate at that time was
$1,100 per unit.
Attached for the City Council's consideration is a draft resolution which would authorize the
preparation of a feasibility study for this project. If you have any questions regarding this,
please call.
