(CIP 1001108: Sidewalk Assessment Program)
DATE: April 28, 2008
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending approval of the levy of special
assessments for the 2007 and 2006 Sidewalk Inspection Program. This project reflects
areas inspected in 2006, which were granted extensions until 2007, and properties
inspected in 2007. The total amount of special assessments will be $2,158.19, which is
being levied against three separate parcels of property.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

(CIP 1001108: Sidewalk Assessment Program)
DATE: April 25, 2008
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for the levy of special assessments for the 2007 and 2006
Sidewalk Inspection Program. This project reflects areas inspected in 2006, which were
granted extensions until 2007, and properties inspected in 2007.
DISCUSSION
As part of the 2007 Sidewalk Inspection Program, there were 412 properties notified of defects.
The City received compliance from the majority of the property owners who received notices.
However, there were 2 properties that did not complete the replacements as required.
Also, there was one property which was inspected in 2006, and received extensions until 2007,
who did not complete their repairs.
In such situations, the policy of the City is to correct the defects and levy the construction costs
against the abutting property owners in the form of a special assessment, including an
administrative charge and a $50.00 permit fee.
The total amount of the special assessments will be $2,158.19, which is being levied against 3
separate parcels of property.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the City Council approve the attached final assessment schedule.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution establishing the final assessment
schedule.
