Title
Policy for reconstruction of streets with brick/concrete pavers
Resolved, that the policy for reconstruction of streets with brick/concrete pavers be approved. The following requirements will be used for the construction or reconstruction of streets with brick/concrete pavers:
A. Street must be in a recognized Historic District.
B. Street is classified as a local street.
C. Street must have been paved with paver bricks at some point in its history.
D. That the residents abutting the street agree to pay the equivalent of the assessment charge for construction with concrete.
E. That the city utilizes sewer revenue dollars to cover the difference in cost between the total cost of the project and the amount owed by assessments.
Fiscal Note: This policy will allow for the rehabilitation of brick streets, such as College Avenue, with the abutting residents paying their fair share without placing a burden upon the remaining city taxpayers. This policy will also allow the means to increase the number of streets paved with pavers which will be an asset to those neighborhoods inasmuch as it helps maintain or increase property values.
