hearing on the 2005 Bituminous Overlay, Project No. 2005-4, a public hearing is
scheduled for March 15,2005. This agenda item is to conduct the public hearing for the
proposed improvements associated with the 2005 Bituminous Overlay Project.
BACKGROUND:
On January 18,2005, City Council ordered the preparation of a feasibility report for the
2005 Bituminous Overlay Project. The report was completed and accepted by City
Council on February 15,2005. This proposed project includes overlaying the following
streets between 11th Avenue and 1ih Avenue:
. Quincy Street
. Jefferson Street
. Madison Street
. Monroe Street
The project also includes adding two street lights on each block to meet the City's Street
Lighting Policy.
On February 24,2005, staff conducted an informational meeting for the property owners
being affected by the proposed project. Approximately 23 residents attended the
meeting. The residents in attendance at the informational meeting seemed in favor of the
proj ect and had some general questions regarding the design, construction schedule and
assessment payments.
PROJECT COSTS:
The total estimated project cost for this project is $166,656.00.
25% of the street and street lighting improvements ($41,664.00) will be assessed to the
benefiting properties. The remaining costs ($124,992.00) associated with the street and
street lighting improvements will be paid from General Tax Levy Funds.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 6204, a resolution ordering the improvement and the
preparation of plans and specifications for the 2005 Bituminous Overlay, Project
No. 2005-4.
2. Deny Resolution No. 6204. This action will halt the project until such time as the
City Council reconsiders the resolution.
3. Table Resolution No. 6204, to allow time for staff to prepare additional
information and/or revise the feasibility report as directed by City Council.
4. Modify Resolution No. 6204, to reduce the scope of the project area, as
determined by City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
If Council desires to proceed with this project, at this time, then Resolution No. 6204
needs to be adopted, a resolution ordering the improvement and the preparation of plans
and specifications. If City Council does not wish to pursue this project, then the
appropriate action would be to move the approval of Resolution No. 6204 and vote
against the motion. If City Council wants more information on the project and/or to
amend the feasibility report, then Alternative No.3 is recommended.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Offer Resolution No. 6204, A Resolution Ordering an Improvement and Preparation of
Plans and Specifications for the 2005 Bituminous Overlay, Project No. 2005-4, and move
its adoption.
