INTRODUCTION
Dubuque
Y
I I I I
2012
The enclosed material provides for the levy of special assessments for the 2012 Sidewalk
Inspection Program. This project reflects two properties inspected in 2011 which did not
complete repairs after multiple contacts.
DISCUSSION
During the 2011 sidewalk inspection program the City received compliance from the majority of
the property owners who received notices; two properties did not comply.
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 $2848.95 which is being levied against the
two 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.
