2007
The enclosed resolutions provide for the establishment of the final assessment for the
sidewalk assessment project at 80 -82 Clarke Drive.
On November 2, 2010 a letter was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Larry Husemann, owners of 80-
82 Clarke Drive, informing them that the contractor they hired had not followed City
codes relative to obtaining a permit or providing proper safety protections. Previous
phone conversations with the owners did not result in placement of safety measures or
completion of work.
Notice was given for completion of work within fifteen (15) days from the date of that
November 2, 2010 notice. Failure to comply resulted in the City contracting this work.
The resulting assessment reflects the placement of safety barricading and concrete
replacement totaling $614.20 plus $25.00 administrative fee for a total of $639.20.
Iowa State Code Section 364.12c -e and City Code Title 10- 1 -2B -D state the owner of
any lot or parcel shall maintain said sidewalk free from cracks, holes and unevenness
so that the sidewalk does not constitute a safety hazard, and if after proper notification
the work is not completed, the City has cause to perform the required actions and
assess those costs.
BUDGET IMPACT
The resulting assessment was funded through the Sidewalk Inspection Program —
Assessable Capital Improvement Project (CIP 1001108) and revenue from this
assessment will be placed in the General Special Assessment Fund (CIP 25510255).
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution approving the Final
Schedule of Assessment for the sidewalk replacement at 80 -82 Clarke Drive.
