Completed Improvements <br />All streets were reconstructed matching their existing widths and locations. <br />After damaged concrete curb and gutter sections were removed and replaced, the existing bituminous pavement <br />sections were reconstructed using the Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) process. This involved grinding the existing <br />bituminous pavement with an inch or more of existing aggregate base (pavement reclamation), then placing and <br />compacting some of the reclaimed material on top of the reshaped and compacted existing aggregate base. Then, <br />2-inches of bituminous base course and 1'/2-inches of bituminous wear course was placed and compacted on top of <br />the compacted reclaim material to provide a pavement section with a 7-ton structural capacity and a 30-plus year <br />design life. <br />Storm sewer castings were reset after replacing adjusting rings and grouting the insides of the catch basins. <br />Municipal sanitary sewer and water utility castings were adjusted and reset. <br />Notification: <br />Notice for this Assessment Hearing was published in the City's official newspaper, the Anoka Union Herald, on <br />Friday, September 21, 2018. Assessment Hearing Notices were also mailed to all property owners proposed to be <br />assessed for the improvements as required per Minnesota State Statute Chapter 429. Attached is a copy of the <br />Assessment Hearing Notice as mailed to benefiting property owners. <br />Anoka County requires that assessments be certified to the County Auditor by November 16, 2018 for collection on <br />2019 taxes. This deadline will be met by conducting the Assessment Hearing at the October 9th City Council <br />meeting. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Observations: <br />Public Comment <br />Staff met with several benefiting property owners prior to construction to discuss the improvements and their <br />preliminary assessments. Most generally understood the need for the improvements, and a few questioned the use <br />of special assessments to help pay for the improvements. <br />Staff met with numerous property owners during construction to coordinate construction of various improvements <br />adjacent to or otherwise affecting the use of their properties. <br />Before this case was published, no formal comments or objections regarding final proposed assessments had been <br />received by Staff. If any formal comments or objections are received after this case is published, Staff will share <br />this information with Council prior to the Public Hearing. <br />Alternatives: <br />Alternative #1 — Motion to adopt Resolution #18-213 adopting the final assessment roll certifying assessments for <br />Improvement Project #17-02, River's Bend Street Reconstructions. <br />Alternative #2 — Motion to deny adoption of Resolution #18-213 at this time. <br />Funding Source: <br />Funding sources for this project include a combination of Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program (SROP) bond <br />funds, special assessments to benefiting properties, some stormwater utility funds, and a small amount of sewer and <br />water funds. A more detailed cost accounting will be presented prior to the Assessment Hearing. <br />Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program (SROP) bond funds <br />These bond funds will initially pay for all project costs not covered by stormwater utility funds and sewer and <br />water funds. Over the next 10 years, all special assessments collected for this project, which could total up to <br />
