#3 Public hearing and action for new and replacment sidewalk (File Res. #2009-612)
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM
7 July 2009
TO: City Council
FROM: Mike Payne, Engineering Manager
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ON A FINAL RESOLUTION FOR
PUBLIC WORKS BID SCHEDULE “F” – 2009 (FILE RES. NO. 2009-612)
Summary
The attached Sidewalk Resolution No. 2009-612 for an assessable project on Bid
Schedule “F”-2009. This Resolution includes assessable sidewalk on eight (8) street
segments and was introduced to Council at the June 22 Council meeting. An error was
discovered related to the Newville Road sidewalk proposal. The frontage for Lein Oil
was previously represented as funded sidewalk by mistake. The Engineering Division
no longer recommends sidewalk installation on Newville Road due to the majority of the
section requiring assessments to the abutting property owners, which was not the intent
of the current sidewalk program.
Half of the segments proposed on the resolution were requested by the public. Several
segments were added by staff to eliminate small gaps between funded sidewalk
proposed to be installed this year. By adopting this Sidewalk Resolution, the City is
declaring its intent to assess the abutting properties benefiting by these improvements.
All affected property owners received a letter of the scheduled public hearing and the
amount of their proposed assessment. Property owners have the option to pay the
sidewalk assessment to the City over five years.
Recommendation
The Engineering Division recommends the Council strike line item 3 – Newville Road
from the Resolution and adopt Sidewalk Resolution No. 2009-612
Suggested Motion
I move to strike line item 3 – Newville Road from the Resolution and adopt Sidewalk
Resolution No. 2009-612.

A Resolution authorizing the installation of certain sidewalks.
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Janesville desires the installation
of standard concrete sidewalks in front of the parcels of land described below where
standard concrete sidewalks have not been constructed; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council desires that the construction of these
sidewalks be effectuated pursuant to the empowerment and according to the
procedures set forth in Wisconsin Statute Section 66.0907; and
WHEREAS, the City anticipates that monies, other than the proceeds of any
outstanding debit of the City, will be expended by the City with respect to such capital
improvements. The City reasonably expects to be reimbursed for such expenditures
with proceeds of its debt. The maximum principal amount of debt expected to be issued
for the reimbursement of such expenditures is $1,000,000. No funds from sources
other than the debt referred to above are, or are expected to be, reserved, allocated on
a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside by the City or any entity controlled by the City
pursuant to its budget or financial policies with respect to the Projects. This is
consistent with the budgetary and financial circumstances of the City. Copies of this
Resolution shall be made available for public inspection in the manner required by law.
This Resolution is a declaration of official intent under Treasury Regulation Section
1.103.18, as amended and renumbered from time to time;
WHEREAS, the expenses to be charged against abutting property owners may
be: (a) paid in cash upon completion of the work; or (b) paid with the taxes the first year
following completion of the work; or (c) at the election of the property owner, spread
over a period of five (5) years with interest at seven percent (7%) per annum on the
unpaid balance. The first installment on the five-year plan shall include one-fifth of the
principal with the interest for November and December on the unpaid portion and shall
be so entered in the tax roll. Each of the subsequent installments shall be entered in
each of the annual tax rolls thereafter until all are collected. Deferred payment on the
aforementioned installments shall bear interest at seven percent (7%) per annum.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Common Council of the City of
