Council adopts assessment rolls for four street-improvement projects totaling more than $2 million in proposed assessments
Summary
After public hearings, the Austin City Council declared costs and adopted assessment rolls for four street reconstruction projects with owner assessments financed at 5.75% for 15 years; no written objections were reported.
The Austin City Council held public hearings and approved resolutions declaring the costs and adopting assessment rolls for four separate street-improvement projects. City staff reported no written objections from property owners and described outreach and owner-specific assessment notices that were mailed before the hearings.
Steven, the staff member presenting the projects, told council members that each property owner had been sent project-specific information and calculations and that the packet materials mirrored presentations given at prior meetings: “In your backup material, there's a few summary items... we sent out to all of the property owners, letting them know of our assessment process,” he said. Steven also confirmed the city had not received written objections to the projects.
The four projects and the assessment amounts presented in the hearings were:
- Sixth Street NE from 30th Avenue NE to 30 Sixth Ave NE, project 19601: amount to be assessed $161,000 at 5.75% for 15 years. - 20 First Avenue SW from Fourth Drive SW to Twelfth Street SW, project 25102: amount to be assessed $950,000 at 5.75% for 15 years. - Sixth Ave NE from Eighteenth Drive NE to Nineteenth Street NE and Eighteenth Drive NE from Fifth Avenue NE to Sixth Avenue NE, project 25106: amount to be assessed $900,000 at 5.75% for 15 years. - 20 Fifth Street SW from Oakland Avenue West to Seventh and Eighth Avenue SW, project 25107: amount to be assessed $200,000 at 5.75% for 15 years.
Each resolution to declare the cost and adopt the assessment roll passed by recorded votes. The city clerk called roll for each resolution; recorded votes in each case were in favor, and council noted no public speakers at the hearings.
Council members and staff said the mailed property-specific notices and a frequently asked-questions packet were intended to help property owners understand repayment options and assessment calculations. The council approved all four assessment-related resolutions and moved to the next agenda item.
