As has been the City's past practice, these types of <br />improvements are 100% assessed on a unit basis to the benefitting property owners. <br /> <br />In order to initiate such a project, the City Council would have to authorize the preparation <br />of a feasibility study. Since the project is not petitioned for by the benefitted property <br />owners, the feasibility study must be authorized by a four-fifths vote of the Council. The <br />project would then flow through the normal procedures of a public hearing, bidding, and an <br />assessment hearing prior to awarding the contract. It is anticipated that the assessments on <br />this project would be in the range of $1,500 per unit. The most recent overlay project which <br />was assessed happened approximately four to five years ago, and the rate at that time was <br />$1,100 per unit. <br /> <br />Attached for the City Council's consideration is a draft resolution which would authorize the <br />preparation of a feasibility study for this project. If you have any questions regarding this, <br />please call. <br /> <br />1326 Energy Pa~ Drive Sincerely, <br /> <br />St. Paul.
