MINUTES CITY COUNCIL September 13, 1989 PAYNE AVE. The City Engineer reported proposal for the September outlining alternatives for reconstruction project. that he will put together a 27th Council meeting assessing the Payne Avenue Fahey pointed out that the City has adopted a policy of assessing 80% of reconstruction projects and picking up the remaining 20% on general taxes. The City Engineer pointed out that the proposal is for sealcoating a portion of Payne Avenue, and he was considering an option wherein the City picked up the sealcoating costs. Collova asked how strong the City's position would be for assessing the reconstruction project for all properties on Payne Avenue, when actual reconstruction will only take place on one section of the street. The City Attorney replied that it may be a tough test in the courts. Blesener pointed out that the overlay and sealcoating will increase the life of the street. Scalze suggested that a partial overlay of the entire street and then a sealcoating will increase the life of the street, and will give the City more basis for assessing all the properties on the street. Scalze stated that it was her feeling that the street needs more than just sealcoating. Scalze agreed that the City Engineer should look at alternative options so that the life of the street is extended and this matter is not before the Council in another five years. Fahey pointed out that the City Engineer, when putting together some options, should keep in mind the City's 80/20 assessment policy.
