Order Assessment Hearing
Alley Reconstruction Project 97-16
Proposed Action.
Staffrecommends adoption ofthe following motion: Move that Council adopt Resolution 99-40,
Resolution for Hearing on Proposed Assessments, 1998 Alley Improvement.
Overview.
Staff has delayed the assessment process concerning the reconstruction of an alley between the
Arts Center and the U S West Central Office Building. Hopes were that the City could negotiate
the purchase of some U S West property for alley parking purposes in lieu of assessments. Staff
has had protracted negotiations with the telephone company and just recently the long sought
deed was delivered to the City's attorney. Unfortunately the document is unrecordable. Staff
and the attorney feel actually carrying through with the assessment process will bring about a
successful resolution to the nonsense encountered to date.
Attached is a calculated assessment roll. Staffrecommends approval of the roll for consideration
at a public hearing.
