RESOLUTION NO. #18-147
Preliminary resolution pursuant to Section 384.42 of the Iowa Code related to the 2019 N. Sycamore Street Reconstruction Project
WHEREAS, it is deemed advisable by the City Council of the City of Monticello, Iowa (the “City”) that certain public improvements be constructed in the City in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 384 of the Code of Iowa, and a portion of the cost be assessed to the property benefitted thereby; and
WHEREAS, the City has arranged for engineering services with Snyder & Associates, Inc., in connection with the said improvement;
NOW, THEREFORE, It Is Resolved by the City Council of the City of Monticello, Iowa, as follows:
Section 1. The 2019 N. Sycamore Street Reconstruction Project shall consist of the reconstruction and surfacing of streets, including the construction of curb and gutter improvements, storm sewer and drainage improvements, water system extensions, improvements and connections, sanitary sewer system extensions, improvements and connections, sidewalk and driveway approach reconstructions, and in some cases new driveways, construction of new sidewalks and pedestrian ramps, lighting, and other work incidental thereto on and along certain streets in the City of Monticello, Iowa, as follows:
N. Sycamore from its’ intersection with E. 1st Street on the south to just past the intersection of N. Sycamore Street with E. 7th Street to the north, including similar reconstruction work on a portion of the side streets off of N. Sycamore Street, including 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Streets, said additional work to potentially include all the improvements noted in Section 1 of this Resolution.
Section 2. The assessable portion of the 2019 N. Sycamore Street Reconstruction Project shall consist of 100% of the cost of curb and gutter improvements, 100% of the cost of reconstruction of driveway approaches, and driveways where appropriate, and 50% of the cost of the construction and reconstruction of sidewalks. It is considered that all properties abutting the above described segments of streets to be improved will be specially benefited from this improvement and should be specially assessed. The City Council will consider the granting of a credit against proposed assessments if the property owner to be assessed provides evidence found sufficient by the Council that sidewalks or driveway approaches have been replaced within the past ten (10) years and remain in good condition.
Section 3. The Project Engineers, Snyder & Associates, are hereby ordered to prepare preliminary plans and specifications, an estimated total cost of the work and a plat and schedule and to file the same with the City Clerk.
Section 4. The improvement shall be known as the
“2019 N. Sycamore Street Reconstruction Project,” and shall be so referred to
in all subsequent proceedings.
Section 5. All resolutions, parts of resolutions, or actions of the Council in conflict herewith are hereby repealed, to the extent of such conflict.
