Public Works Committee 5. 3. Meeting Date: 01/17/2017 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Title: Consider Recommendation to City Council to Accept Draft Feasibility Report for Sunwood Drive Reconstruction, Improvement Project#17-00 Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to consider providing a recommendation to the City Council for accepting the DRAFT Feasibility Report for Sunwood Drive Reconstruction, City Improvement Project 417-00. Timeframe: Staff estimates 20 minutes will be required to present this case and respond to questions. Observations/Alternatives: Attached is a DRAFT copy of the Feasibility Report. Please note this is a working document still under development. While the majority of information in the attached draft report is complete,the preliminary assessments are currently incomplete. Before publishing preliminary assessments, Staff wishes to discuss preliminary assessments for this project with the Public Works Committee since the City has not yet applied the adopted Special Assessments Policy to projects assessing commercial or industrial properties. Staff would therefore like to discuss the optional assessment methods with the Committee before finalizing preliminary assessments within the draft Feasibility Report,which is proposed to be presented to the City Council on January 24th. Once the Feasibility Report is complete,meetings with individual property owners will be conducted to discuss the proposed project,their preliminary assessment, and to gather feedback for future consideration by Council. Alternatives: Alternative 41 —Motion recommending City Council acceptance of the recommendations outlined in the draft Feasibility Report for Sunwood Drive Reconstruction, City Improvement Project 417-00,with the following modifications; Alternative 42—Motion denying City Council recommendation at this time. Funding Source: Staff proposes to fund the proposed improvements using a combination of special assessments, street reconstruction bond funds, and stormwater utility funds. Staff proposes to assess 9 identified benefiting property owners for 25%of the eligible project costs totaling $151,750. Recommendation: Staff recommends alternative 41. Action: Motion to recommend approval of Alternative 41.
