Recommended Motion: The committee recommends the City Council adopt the resolution to order curb and sidewalk improvements adjacent to properties in the University Area Phase III – Beckwith to McLeod, Project 06- 047. Timeline: Referral to committee: May 24, 2010 Committee discussion: June 2, 2010 (property owners have been invited) Background and Alternatives Explored: This project contains a twenty block area bound by McLeod on the north, Beckwith on the south, Higgins on the west and Arthur on the east. This project will be the third phase within the University area where curb and sidewalk improvements have been completed. A notice letter was sent to the affected property owners. This letter informed property owners of the project proposal, construction cost estimate based on preliminary engineering design and specified dates for consideration by the Public Works Committee and City Council. Both support and opposition to the project is anticipated, primarily due to costs. Financial Implications: All of the costs of the improvements will be assessed to the adjacent property owners under the City's Special Improvement Assessment Program, with financing terms available up to twenty years and deferred loans available to low income property owners and any property owner with an assessment over $6,000.
