City of Elk River REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Agenda Section Meeting Date Communi Devdo ment March 19, 2007 Item Description Deetfidd 3"' Addition Street/Storm Drainage Reconstruction Assessment Heatin Item Number 5.1. Prepared by Te Maurer, Ci Reviewed by Introduction The Deerfidd 3"' Addition Street/Storm Drainage Reconstruction assessment heating is scheduled for this evening's City Council meeting. I will be prepared with a brief PowerPoint presentation and available to answer questions that the City Council or public may have after the presentation. Discussion As part of my presentation, I will follow-up on the direction given regarding sidewalks at the public heating. I will provide an analysis of 4 ft. versus 6 ft. wide sidewalk. In addition, I will discuss the side of street and the width of boulevard that I am recommending. Construction bids are scheduled to be opened at 1 p.m. on Thursday, March 15,2007. Therefore, an analysis of the actual construction bids will part of my PowerPoint presentation. I will also have a handout for the City Council, summarizing the bid opening. Part of my presentation will touch on the property owners' rights relative to an appeal of the assessment. It is important to remember that the property owners must submit a written objection at or before the assessment heating in order to preserve their right to appeal the assessment. Simply speaking at the public hearing and voicing an objection is not sufficient to preserve the right to file an objection with the district coutt. At the close of the assessment heating, it would be appropriate for the City Council to consider the attached resolutions. The first one adopts the final assessment roll; this resolution can be adopted with any revisions to the assessment roll that the City Council deems appropriate after listening to testimony from the public. The second resolution awards the contract. It would only be appropriate to consider this resolution if the resolution adopting the assessment roll is passed by the City Council. I will have a completed resolution based on the bid opening that I will hand out at Monday evening's meeting. Financial Impact The feasibility reports the total project cost at $4,730,500. Assessments to abutting properties in the amount 0[$6,650 per residential parcd result in the total assessment of $1,303,400. The remaining $3,427,100 is proposed to be funded by the City of Elk River.
