(b) Street resurfacing. Street resurfacing is commonly known and referred to as street overlaying whereby a new bed of road material such as bituminous is installed over an existing paved road to a specific thickness. Assessments shall be determined by the adjusted front footage method at 100% to properties on both sides of the street. A mill and overlay to an existing paved road will be assessed by the adjusted front footage method at 100% to properties on both sides of the street. A recycle and overlay to an existing paved road will be assessed by the adjusted front footage method at 100% to properties on both sides of the street. Assessments will be based on physical project costs plus engineering, administration costs, ROW expenditures and other related project costs. The method of rehabilitation or resurfacing shall be determined by the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of the combined segments of the streets considered for the project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all assessments shall be subject to the special benefit limitation to the extent required by state law. (c) Sidewalk. Sidewalk improvements may be done in conjunction with a street reconstruction or as a separate project. In any event, sidewalks requested that are not included in the city's sidewalk and trail plan sha44 may be recovered by assessing up to 25% to the affected property owners and the remainder paid by the general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become available to the city for infrastructure cost recovery. Sidewalks are generally installed on the city's major streets or in accordance with the city's sidewalk and trail plan, which will connect several neighborhoods and community attractions in a logical pattern; these improvements will not be assessed to the abutting properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all assessments shall be subject to the special benefit limitation to the extent required by state law. (d) Sealcoating.

(e) Sanitary sewer and water mains. Repair and replacement of sewer or water mains is usually done in conjunction with a street reconstruction project and the cost of this work should be included as part of the total major street project cost and should also be considered to be included in the rate assessed for street reconstruction. If it is determined that the repair and replacement work results in a greater benefit to some properties and not to others, the Council should consider establishing a different assessment rate based on the benefits received. (f) Sanitary sewer and water trunk improvements. Trunk sewer and water mains are usually designed to carry larger volumes of flow than are necessary within an immediate property area in order to serve additional properties beyond the area of their immediate placement. Therefore, 100% of the cost of trunk improvements wi44 may be assessed on a unit basis to all properties within a district deemed to be benefitted from the trunk improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all assessments shall be subject to the special benefit limitation to the extent required by state law. (g) Sewer and water services. Individual sewer and water services benefit only the properties they serve and 100% of their cost shall be assessed to the property for which they are installed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all assessments shall be subject to the special benefit limitation to the extent required by state law.
