. AGENDA ITEM 7A (Updated) • • STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 24, 2000 TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING - Resolution No. 00 -64, Adopt Assessment Roll, Twilight Acres 1st and 2nd Additions VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority BACKGROUND: (This staff report has been updated to include information regarding the resident poll, and appraisals, that was received after the original report was prepared.) On June 26, 2000, the City Council held a public hearing for this project. After receiving public comment, the consideration of the resolution adopting the assessment was delayed to allow staff time to gather additional information. A poll was sent to the affected residents to determine their interest in the City proceeding with the project. The results of the property owner survey are as follows: No Yes Conditional Total %Response 1St Addition 9 7 3 19 19/24= 80% 2nd Addition 4 3 0 7 7/7= 100% The conditional responses indicated a positive response only if the assessment amounts are supported by the appraisals. An updated map showing the responses; a copy of the information sent to the residents with the poll; and responses received after the work session are attached. As we have mentioned before, after discussing this matter with the contractor, C. W. Houle, they have agreed to honor their bid even if the City delays the award until August 28, 2000. C.W. Houle would need to begin construction by September 8, 2000, in order to complete the improvements, through the bituminous paving, this year. The restoration of the boulevard areas and driveways would likely carry over until spring of 2001.
