PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING: STREET SEALCOAT PROJECTS ANDALLEY
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
A. Presentation of Information by Staff
!) Sealcoat Project
Mark Winson, the Public Works Director/City Engineer, reviewed
Project ~9701 which is the sealcoating of streets in Zone 2
and Pierce Street, 46th to 47th Avenues. The policy for
sealcoating is that it is done about every eight years.
Previously it was done on a six year cycle but this timetable
was re-evaluated. It was decided that a better patching job
was possible if it were done in a smaller area.
The only costs being assessed to the benefitting property
owners are the costs of the actual construction which are
estimated at $72,191.60. The Council previously adopted a
policy whereby the engineering and administrative costs would
be paid by the City. For this project they are estimated at
$15,548.96.
The formula for assessment with this project is that all
property within the sealcoat project boundaries are subject to
both a street and an avenue charge based on front footage. The
street in front of the property is at the full rate street
feet) and at a one third rate for their nearest side street
(avenue feet).
Mr. Winson noted that preparation for a sealcoat project is
usually done July to September. It is anticipated this project
will commence in August.
2. Alley Construction
The Public Works Director advised that this alley is the alley
east of Quincy Street to the existing paved alley and south of
40th Avenue. This is a unimproved alley.

Estimated assessment costs total $10,783.69. The City share is
$7,640.13 and the balance of $3,143.56 will be assessed to
benefitting properties. There are only four properties and
City crews will be doing most of the work.
Councilmember Jolly inquired if staff had received any calls
from property owners whose properties are affected by this
project. He noted that their individual assessments are quite
costly. No calls had been received.
B. Questions and Comments on Project
Three property owners of two affected properties were present
for the Public Hearings both of which were included in the
sealcoat project area.
They had questions regarding the assessment formula and the
frequency with which sealcoating is done.
Staff responded to their questions and concerns. The method of
payment of assessment was explained.
