SIDEWALK ASSESSMENT
RESOLUTION NO. 2018-1512
A RESOLUTION authorizing replacement of certain sidewalks as part of a streetscaping
and bridge replacement project.
WHEREAS, the resolution pertains to sidewalk replacement related to a DOT
construction project on Milwaukee Street to replace the bridge over the Rock River and
reconstruct E. and W. Milwaukee Street between S. River Street and Main Street. The
2018-2019 project includes replacing all sidewalks. Abutting property owners will be
charged for the replacement of five feet of sidewalk as part of the project without the
ability to hire private contractors independent from the DOT project.
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; and
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 three and one-half percent (3.5%) 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 three and one-half
percent (3.5%) per annum; and
