To the Mayor and Members of the City Council January 28, 1997
Subject:
1873 1997 PAVING ASSESSMENT RATES
On June 11, 1996 (M&C G-11497), the City Council adopted revisions to the Assessment
Paving Policy and established the 1996 rates for curb and gutter, driveway approaches,
and sidewalks. The policy provides that the rate charged for these facilities will be based
on actual or estimated costs.
Staff has reviewed local street projects bid during the second half of calendar 1996 and
has determined the following proposed 1997 rates. The 1996 rates are shown for
comparison purposes.
1997 Proposed 1996 Adopted
Curb and gutter (l.f.) $9.54 $9.40
Driveway approach (s.f.) 3.92 4.06
Sidewalk (s.f.) 3.51 3.03
Although the driveway rate decreased slightly (8 cents), the other items increased slightly.
Because the property owners have no influence over the year in which a project is
constructed,, staff feels that it would be equitable to continue to apply the lower 1996 rates
for projects processed in 1997. This procedure will be followed unless Council directs
otherwise.
