REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: 2/25/2019 <br /> Item No.: 9.f <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Adopt a Resolution to Approve 2019 Apportionment of Assessments <br />1 B ACKGROUND <br />2 Whenever the legal description of property changes, it is necessary to reassign previously levied <br />3 assessments remaining on the property to the proper frontage or area of the new lot or lots. This <br />4 s typically happens when a property is <br />5 subdivided or an easement is recorded on the property. The City Council must approve all <br />6 reapportionments. <br />7 <br />8 Until 1993, each reapportionment was done with a separate Council Action request and <br />9 Resolution. The need to process separate reapportionments was very costly and time consuming. <br />10 In the past, there have been as many as 30 reapportionments in a single year. By adopting one <br />11 resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to reapportion the assessments the overall <br />12 process is streamlined and saves time for the City Council and staff. <br />13 P OLICY O BJECTIVE <br />14 The City Council must approve the reapportionment of levied assessments for property <br />15 subdivisions. The Engineering staff does the calculations to reapportion the assessments and <br />16 processes all support documentation for each request. <br />17 S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION <br />18 This system has been used since 1993 and has worked well. It is the staff recommendation to <br />19 continue this action for 2019. <br />20 R EQUESTED C OUNCIL A CTION <br />21 Approval of a resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to reapportion assessments in <br />22 2019. <br />Prepared by: Jesse Freihammer, City Engineer <br />Attachments: A: Resolution <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />
