Attached are project summaries of final project costs and proposed assessments for each of the projects comprising the 1997 Street Maintenance Program. The City's street maintenance policy assesses one half of the total project cost while the other half is paid with general city funds. The assessed portion is divided equally among the benefited properties within the project. An exception to this general policy is proposed on two projects with the 1997 Street Maintenance Program. Project #97-03 involves the crack filling/sealcoating of nearly one-half mile of Tiger Street for which only four properties are available to be assessed. Application of the normal assessment procedure would result in a disproportionately high assessment when compared to the other parcels receiving the same improvements. It is proposed that the average crack fill/sealcoat assessment for the 1997 program be levied on these four parcels. Also, Project #97~12 involves the crack filling/sealcoating of one-quarter mile of Zirconium Street. Although seven parcels have frontage on Zirconium, only five parcels are assessable since two parcels have driveway access onto 167th Avenue, and according to policy, will be assessed only when that street receives an improvement. It is proposed that the City contribute the cost of two shares to make this assessment more equitable. Council Action: Motion to adopt Resolutions #97-09-XXX through #97-09-XXX adopting assessments for Improvement Projects #97-01 through #97-17, exclusive of #97-14.
