Council advances residential, arterial and unimproved resurfacing programs; assessment examples explained
Summary
Public Service Committee approved placing 2026 resurfacing items on the consent agenda, outlining assessment formulas (residential example $6.65 per front foot; arterial $4.50 per front foot) and a plan to proceed with contractor work and notices to affected property owners.
The Public Service Committee reviewed and advanced three related resurfacing ordinances — residential, arterial/collector and unimproved street programs — and moved them to the council consent agenda.
Service staff explained the assessment process for property owners and gave typical examples: for residential resurfacing the staff cited a front-foot rate of $6.65 (a 50-foot lot would be roughly $330 spread over five years), while the arterial example was $4.50 a front foot. For unimproved streets staff explained the higher per-front-foot cost because those streets require more asphalt, and provided an example effective front-foot calculation for property owners.
City staff said notices had already been mailed and that assessment hearings produced no sustained objections in the residential program. The committee voted to suspend the rules and move the items forward so work can begin when weather permits.
Next steps: items will be listed on council consent; if council approves, the city will issue a notice to proceed and scheduling will follow.
