Board chooses per-foot assessment and curb-stop charge for 117th reconstruction
Summary
After review with Ayres Associates, the Board decided to assess 117th Street reconstruction by the foot, charge curb-stop costs separately to properties that need one, and allow up to 15-year payment terms with interest; directional boring was noted as a cost-saving option in a subsection of the route.
The Board discussed engineering and assessment options for the 117th Street reconstruction project after Ayres Associates provided cost and assessment guidance.
Board members reviewed the three assessment formulas allowed under village ordinance (foot, area, unit) and considered whether to charge by parcel or by linear foot. Engineers noted directional boring in a constrained area on 44th Avenue could save roughly $40,000 compared with traditional methods. The Board decided to assess the project by the foot, with curb stops charged separately to properties that require them. Payment terms were set at up to 15 years with interest; if a property sells, the assessment balance becomes due. The Board directed staff to proceed with scheduling the required Class 1 notice and a public hearing on the project and finalize cost estimates with Ayres Associates.
