MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 25, 2023 Street to determine if a mill and overlay would be a suitable improvement to get the entire roadway on the same maintenance cycle. He explained that a Feasibility Report was prepared and accepted by the City Council on December 14, 2022, and a Public Improvement Hearing was scheduled for January 25, 2023. He stated that the City Council also asked that staff bring forward an option to reduce the assessment amounts due to the mill and overlay being advanced in order to sync up with the rest of the roadway improvement schedule. The City Engineer explained that the assessment policy assesses 50% of the street improvement costs to the benefiting property owners for a rehabilitation project, which includes mill & overlays. He stated the City Council has the discretionary authority to reduce the amount assessed.
