The enclosed material provides for the levy of special assessments for the 2009
Sidewalk Inspection Program. This project reflects eight properties inspected in late
2008 that did not complete repairs after multiple contacts.
As part of the 2009 Sidewalk Inspection Program, there were 603 properties notified of
defects. The City received compliance from the majority of the property owners who
received notices. However, eight properties had extensions until spring, 2009 to comply;
however, after multiple notices and reminders, repairs for the respective sidewalks were
contracted and completed by the City.
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 permit fee.
The total special assessments for these eight properties will be $7,308.49.
I would recommend that the City Council approve the attached final assessment
schedule for the 2009 Sidewalk Assessment Program.
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution establishing the final
assessment schedule for the 2009 Sidewalk Assessment Program.
