REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 6/2/2025 Item No.: 7.a. Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Approve Special Assessment for County Road B Reconstruction 1 2 Background 3 Project No. 24-02 reconstructing County Road B, from Cleveland Avenue to the west edge 4 of Sunset Park, was completed last year. Per the City Assessment Policy, the street 5 reconstruction costs are assessable.

Staff will summarize the City assessment 16 policy and how it has been applied to this project. 17 18 It is suggested that if property owners have individual concerns about the quality of 19 construction as part of the project or specific information about project deficiencies, these 20 should be referred to the Engineering Department. Typically, these kinds of complaints 21 relate to quality of finished construction and are covered under the warranty. The warranty 22 is one year from the final contract acceptance, which will occur this summer.
