INTRODUCTION
This memorandum requests the City Council conduct a public hearing for the Heeb Street
Reconstruction Project related to the levying of special assessments.
BACKGROUND
The section of Heeb Street just south of Kaufmann Avenue is a dead-end street that has
very old utilities. The water main is an old 4" main that doesn't meet current standards.
The majority of the houses (5 out of 6) have lead water services where multiple properties
are daisy chained to provide service. This is problematic because if a services line leaks,
it impacts multiple properties. There has been one lead service line failure in this area in
the last 10 years that has impacted multiple properties.
The sanitary sewer main also needs to be replaced. The last house on Heeb Street is still
on a septic system because the current sanitary main doesn't extend far enough to the
south to service this property.
The street itself has old brick pavers overlaid with asphalt. The end of the street does not
have a proper cul-de-sac to allow traffic to easily turn around.
DISCUSSION
This project will include the reconstruction of the street with 7" HMA pavement, new curb
and gutter, new sidewalk on the west side, installation of a modified cul-de-sac at the end
of the street and the complete replacement of all water main, sanitary main and
associated services for both utilities. The historic brick pavers under the existing asphalt
street will be salvaged and stockpiled for future use on a city project.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
City staff have sent letters to the abutting property owners in this corridor and held
individual meetings with property owners requiring permanent easements.

PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS
Low- to moderate -income property owners subject to assessments will be eligible for
financial assistance of the assessment for the owner -occupied resident property
depending on family size and income level.
According to State Code Section 384.62, the assessment shall not exceed twenty-five
percent of the value of the lot as shown by the plat and schedule approved by the council.
There is no assessment for this project that meets these criteria.
Abutting properties can pay assessment balances in excess over $500 over a 15-year
period with 3% interest. Abutting property owners can pay their assessment balances to
the City Treasurer within the first 30 days after receiving the final notice of special
assessment to avoid interest charges.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully request the City Council approve the Schedule of Assessments for the Heeb
Street Reconstruction Project through the adoption of the enclosed resolutions.
