July 21 City Council Street Funding & Assessment Policy Revisions

At the July 21, 2021 City Council Meeting, staff presented a recommendation to change how street reconstruction is funded. The recommendation was based on the work of the Street Funding Task Force and previous comments from the City Council. The recommendation that was approved will transition funding of street reconstruction from 100% special assessments to 100% taxes with a transition period of 16-years. This change was adopted in a revised assessment policy and is effective immediately. This was an exact recommendation from the Street Funding Task Force. Staff would like to again recognize the work of the task force on this very difficult topic.

Thanks, Chad Millner, City Engineer
