TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Snow/Ice Removal Assessment
DATE: December 9, 2014
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos recommends City Council approval of the Final
Assessment Schedule for 1050 North Booth Street for the 2014-2015 Snow/Ice
Removal from City Right-of-Way Program in the amount of $223.75.
Though the winter season is ongoing, this property came to staff attention as being on
the Sheriff's sale list and warranted early assessment to assure City costs pertaining to
snow/ice removal are recorded so they can be recouped prior to the Sheriff's sale.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

DATE: December 15, 2014
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolutions provide for the establishment of the final assessment for one
property for the 2014 - 2015 Snow/Ice Removal from City Right-Of-Way Program.
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 ignored written notice and repeated phone calls and continues to
discharge a sump pump on public sidewalk causing an ice build-up hazardous to public
safety. 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 ice removal from 1050 North Booth Street is
$223.75 ($198.75 plus $25.00 for administrative fees.)
BUDGETIMPACT
The Sidewalk Inspection Program —Assessable Capital Improvement Project (CIP
1001108) is a general fund — liens account that will reimburse this assessment amount
of $223.75. 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/Ice Removal from City Right-Of-Way in the amount of $223.75.
The City Council is requested to approve the attached resolution establishing the Final
Assessment Schedule for Snow/Ice Removal from City Right-of-Way for this property.
