The enclosed material provides for the levy of special assessments for the 2010 Public Right -of -Way
Sidewalk Repair Assessment Project. This project reflects five properties inspected in late 2009
which did not complete repairs after multiple contacts.
As part of the 2010 Public Right -of -Way Sidewalk Repair Assessment Project, there were 384
properties notified of defects. The City received compliance from the majority of the property owners
who received notices. However, five properties which had extensions until spring 2010 did not
comply; and after many notices and reminders, the necessary sidewalk repairs were contracted.
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 is $5,588.32 which will be levied against the five
separate parcels of property.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the City Council approve the attached final assessment schedule.

The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution establishing the final assessment
schedule for the 2010 Public Right -of -Way Sidewalk Repair Assessment Project.
