PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Public Improvement Hearing: 2022 Street Rehabilitation Program — Zones 6 and 7.
Director Hansen presented the information regarding Zones 6 and 7 including the
description of the area and scope of the work. The recommendation based on analysis of
these areas is for partial reconstruction, as well as mill and overlay. There will be some
sections where the curb and gutter is salvageable and will not need to be replaced. Overall
the process of mill and overlay is a preservation tactic for these streets. The mill and
overlay project will impact residents only when the equipment is on the street. Partial
reconstruction impacts the accessibility of the property on a larger scale and can make it so
a resident is not able to access the driveway of their property while the reconstruction is
occurring.
The City does cost sharing; mill and overlay is fifteen percent and for partial reconstruction
it is twenty five percent. The cost is currently an estimate and if the cost continues to be
lower, the overall cost to residents will be lower. The cost will not be higher than the
estimate, and all single family homes pay the same rate. Apartments and commercial
properties pay higher rate.
There was an informational hearing held on February 2ndto update resident impacted by
this project. There will be additional meetings about this project regarding the schedule
and to gather additional information if needed. Final assessment hearings related to this
project will be held in the fall. As far as public improvements related to this project there is
not any additional work.
