ROACH, CITY ATTORNEY February 28, 1975 MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilme ATTENTION: Harry D. Kinzer, City Manager FROM: James S. Ajax, City Engineer .1. Sr A ' SUBJECT: Proposed Local Improvement District Projects Attached for your consideration are Resolutions of Intent to create Local Improvement Districts for the below listed projects as discussed at the February 25, 1975 Workshop Meeting. 1. Fifth and Arthur Avenue (Columbia to Court) - Street Improvement 2. Leola Street (Popular to Arthur) - Street Improvements 3. Wehe Avenue (Lewis to Broadway) - Street Improvements Beech Avenue (Lewis to Parkview) - Street Improvements Owen Avenue (Lewis to Broadway) - Street Improvements Alvina Street (Wehe to Owen) - Street Improvements George Street (Wehe to Owen) - Street Improvements Adelia Street (Wehe to Owen) - Street Improvements Broadway Street (Wehe to Owen) - Street Improvements 4. Hugo Avenue ("A" to Alton) - Sanitary Sewer "A" (Sycamore to Hugo) - Sanitary Sewer The pre -preliminary cost estimate, which should be on the high side, for these projects totals to $576,500. This total will be refined prior to mailing notices if the L.I.D.'s are initiated. Staff has, as requested by Council, investigated the advisability of proceeding with the proposed improvement of Leola Street and do believe it to be appropriate for the following reasons. 1. Substantial local support for the improvement by residents of the area 2. Very questionable whether an L.I.D. including other streets in the area would pass because they are in relatively good condition (North Arthur being an exception) 3. Can be bid with other projects to obtain lower construction cost - thus the size of the project would not be detrimental 4. The improvement would tend to reduce city street maintenance cost (Public Works bladed existing gravel roadway at least six (6) times in 1974) Honorable Mayor and City Coumcilmen February 28, 1975 Page 2 Council should be aware that,the Hugo Street sanitary sewer project does not include lateral lines to the individual residences. These will be a property owner expense and not a part of the L.I.D. assessment. At this time with engineering partially complete it appears that the City's, being the general publics, portion of the project may be more than the $28,000 budgeted. It is felt that $40,000 would be the upper limit of the City's contribution and the resolutions indicates such. Staff believes this additional $12,000 if required can be justified and allocated through budget adjustments. RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests councils favorable consideration of these Resolutions. Particularly on the street improvements staff has received numerous complaints on their present condition from abutting property owners and it seems appropriate to give them the opportunity to remedy the problems.
