STREET AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS
It shall be the policy of the City Council to initiate street and
sidewalk improvements on streets that are more than fifty percent (50%)
improved and to assign the cost of these improvements to the adjoining
property owners. The methods available to complete the work are as
follows:
1. Voluntary payment of construction funds by benefited
property owners.
2. Advancement of construction funds by the City.
3. Use of Chapter 27 provisions of the 1911 Act.
If the method whereby the benefited property owners advance the construc-
tion funds is used, the engineering, inspection, and incidental costs will
be borne by the City. Projects financed in this manner shall be given a
high priority.
is If the method whereby the City advances the construction funds is used,
the engineering, inspection, and incidental costs will be borne by the
City. Under this method the City shall advance the funds only after an
agreement between the property owners and City has been signed in which
the owners agree to repay the construction costs over a three -year period
at ten percent (10 %) interest.
If the provisions of Chapter 27 are used, the cost of engineering and
inspection and identifiable incidentals shall be borne by the adjoining
property owners.
In cases where Chapter 27 of the 1911 Act is used to improve unpaved alleys,
the staff may advance up to $20,000 per year from the Street and Alley
Maintenance Program for alley paving. All funds advanced for construction,
engineering and inspection shall be collected from the benefited property
owners using the legal provisions of Chapter 27.
On streets that are more than fifty percent (50%) improved, owners without
curb, gutter, sidewalks and /or paveout shall be required to install the
remaining improvements when obtaining building permits for remodeling,
new construction or additions.
