INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolutions provide for the establishment of the final assessment for one
property for the 2013 -2014 Snow Removal from City Right -Of -Way Program.
Dubuque
ALAmedcaat � r
2007 • 2012 • 2013
BACKGROUND
Though the winter season is ongoing, one property came to staff attention as being on
the Sheriff's sale list. Iowa State Code Section 364.12b states the abutting property
owner is responsible "for the removal of the natural accumulations of snow and ice from
the sidewalks within a reasonable amount of time and may be liable for damages
caused by the failure of the abutting property owner to use reasonable care in the
removal of the snow or ice." City Code of Ordinance 10- 1 -3 -C -1 addresses the duties of
the abutting owner, removal by City, and the collection of costs.
This property has been the subject of many complaints during the last three winter
seasons and this year again has been a problem. Because of the impending Sherriff's
sale we would like to make sure that the City costs are recorded so they can be
recouped prior to the sale.
DISCUSSION
The Final Schedule of Assessment for snow removal from 695 Kane St is $170.00
($120.00 plus $50.00 for administrative fees.)
BUDGET IMPACT
The Sidewalk Inspection Program — Assessable Capital Improvement Project (CIP
1001108) is a general fund — liens account, in the amount of $170.00. The General
Special Assessment Fund (CIP 25510255) covers the cost of contracting and the
revenue from those assessments.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend City Council approve the resolutions establishing this Final Assessment
Schedule for the Snow Removal from City Right -Of -Way in the amount of $170.00.
The City Council is requested to approve the attached resolutions establishing the Final
Assessment Schedule for Snow Removal from City Right -of -Way for this property.
