PURPOSE:
The Department of Engineering & Inspections, in partnership with the Department of Water Resources is requesting Council approval of an assessment roll for a water line improvement on Covered Wagon Road from an existing 12" line at intersection of Millstream Road and Covered Wagon Road north to the intersection of Crosswinds Court and Covered Wagon Road. City Council, as provided by law, is required to hold a public hearing and approve the assessment roll before the pending charges can be levied against the abutting property.
BACKGROUND:
City Council previously approved the annexation of the area effective June 30, 2008. City Council adopted a resolution on February 3, 2009, in response to special petitions for water services filed by residents on Covered Wagon Road. The contract is complete and the total project construction cost has been determined. A portion of the improvement costs is assessed against the abutting property at $12.00 per foot frontage for the water improvements. During the October 16th work session, City Council approved the staff recommendation to hold in abeyance water and sewer assessments of any property not currently connected to services. Through this abeyance option, assessments become billable only when a resident chooses to connect and will be billed at the above rates, which include an option of 10 annual payments at 6% interest. A copy of the Assessment Roll was advertised on November 20, 2014 and the attached Noticed of Public Hearing for local improvements was mailed to the last known property owners on November 10, 2014.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The total project cost is $42,530.01. The properties were assessed, as allowed by the above resolution, for a total of $17,784.48. The remaining project cost of $24,745.53 was assumed by the City and paid for from the Water Resources Construction Fund.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Water Resources and Engineering & Inspections Departments recommend that City Council adopt the resolution confirming the assessment roll for a water line improvement on Covered Wagon Road from an existing 12" line at intersection of Millstream Road and Covered Wagon Road north to the intersection of Crosswinds Court and Covered Wagon Road in the total assessed amount of $17,784.48
