A Notice of Public Hearing for Local Improvements was mailed to the last known property owners on October 2, 2015 and advertised on October 8, 2015. This item was referred to Council by the Infrastructure Committee.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The estimated construction cost of this project is $70,000. The properties will be assessed at $16.00 per front foot for the sewer line as allowed by City Charter Section 6.131. The projected recovery through assessments levied against the adjoining properties is approximately $14,030. Funding for the project is budgeted in the Water Resources Capital Improvements fund in account 503-7025-02.6017 Activity A16039.
