ITEM 6-D
Council Meeting: May 14, 1991
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Resolution to Set a Public Hearing for June 11, 1991,
for the Confirmation of Gutter Construction and Street
Resurfacing Assessments on Pico Boulevard between
Twenty Eighth Street and the East City Limits
Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council set a public hearing
for June 11, 1991, to hear protests regarding the work and to
confirm the assessments for gutter construction and street
resurfacing on Pico Boulevard between Twenty Eighth Street and
the East City limits, all within the City of Santa Monica.
Background
The reconstruction of Pico Boulevard between Twenty Eighth Street
and the East City limits was approved by the City Council in
FY 1985-86 as a Federal Aid Urban capital improvement project.
This project experienced delays in the design and construction
phase and a delay period of approximately 18 months in obtaining
Caltrans approval to advertise. The project included the
construction of concrete bus pads, curbs, gutters, and curb
ramps, and asphalt concrete resurfacing and asphalt concrete
reconstruction in certain areas of the city.
Only commercial and industrial property owners will be assessed.
The assessed costs are: 1) $9.50 per lineal foot which is 100%
of the cost of gutter construction, and 2) $7.50 per lineal foot
which is 50% of the cost of the street resurfacing. The total
assessment is $17.00 per lineal foot when construction of both
items is necessary in front of a property. Property owners were
notified in accordance with State law and the public hearing was
held February 23, 1988. After closing the public hearing, the
Council ordered the work to commence.
The work was completed, and commercial and industrial property
owner assessments are now due. A public hearing to confirm the
assessments must be held pursuant to Section 5882 of the
California Streets and Highways Code. The attached resolution
sets the public hearing for June 11, 1991. Commercial and
industrial property owners will be notified of the date and
assessment amount fifteen days prior to the public hearing.
Budget/Financial Impact
Approximately $34,823.63 will be generated from property owner
assessments. Revenue will be deposited in Account No. 01-500-
401-00000-0124-10000, "Street Resurfacing Assessment".
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution setting a public hearing for June 11, 1991, to confirm
the assessments for gutter and street resurfacing on the
abovementioned streets.
