The enclosed material provides for the levy of a special assessment for the sidewalk
repair at 728 Wilson Street. The sidewalk was removed by the property owner this past
summer and not replaced. After several attempts to have the sidewalk reinstalled by
the property owner; the city hired a contractor to have the sidewalk replaced.
DISCUSSION
It came to the attention of the City Engineering Department on September 25, 2012
from a concerned citizen that the sidewalk at 728 Wilson Street was removed, but not
replaced. The citizen 'stated to City Staff that the sidewalk had been removed at least
30 days prior to the inspection. The property owner did not call for an inspection or
utility locations before removal of the sidewalk. The City Engineering Department had
two discussions with the property owner, sent an unclaimed certified letter; which gives
the property owner 30 days to replace the sidewalk or request an extension. No
response was made, so a second notice was sent by regular mail and an additional 30
days was given to the property owner to respond. There was no response to the
second letter. After 60 days of no action, a contractor was hired to complete the
sidewalk installation.
RECOMMENDATION
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.
