SECTION III - IMPROVEMENT TYPE AND COST APPORTIONMENT <br />A. Street Reconstruction Including Curb and Gutter. The cost of street <br />reconstruction shall be recovered by the adjusted front footage method. The <br />front footage rate shall be determined by dividing the project cost by the total <br />number of adjusted front feet in the project area x the individual adjusted <br />front footage x two-thirds (2/3). <br />I The remaining cost shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem <br />F property tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become <br />1 available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. <br />B. Street Resurfacing. Street resurfacing is commonly known and referred to as <br />street overlaying whereby a new bed of road material such as bituminous is <br />installed over an existing paved road to a specific thickness. Assessments shall <br />be determined by the adjusted front footage method. The assessment rates shall <br />be adjusted from time to time based on the Engineering New Record Index. The <br />remaining cost shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem property <br />tax paid by the, entire community or by other funds that may become available <br />to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. <br />C. Sidewalk. Sidewalk improvements may be done in conjunction with a street <br />reconstruction or as a separate project. In any event, 50 percent (50%) of the <br />cost of sidewalk improvements shall be assessed to benefitted properties on a <br />front footage basis or on a square footage basis for improvement having <br />significant sidewalk width variations. <br />D. Sealcoating. Sealcoating shall be treated as a general maintenance expense and - - <br />shall be paid from the City's current operating funds. No assessments will be <br />levied for sealcoating projects. <br />E. Sanitary Sewer and Water Mains. Repair and replacement of sewer or water <br />mains is usually done in conjunction with a street reconstruction project and the <br />cost of this work should be included as part of the total major street project cost <br />and should also be considered to be included in the rate assessed for street <br />reconstruction. If it is determined that the repair and replacement work results <br />in a greater benefit to some properties and not to others, the Council should <br />consider establishing a different assessment rate based on the benefits received.
