W.O. 10-27 is a CTEP sidewalk project on the north side of Central Avenue from 29th St W to 32nd St W.  The improvements include installation of curb/gutter, sidewalk, drive approaches, and street widening.  This project will include assessments to property owners for curb/gutter, sidewalk, drive approaches, and driveway improvements for lots which do not already have those improvements.  Properties will be assessed 50% of the cost of a 5 foot sidewalk and 100% of their drive approaches, curb/gutter, and driveway work. CTEP funds will be used toward the remaining cost of the sidewalk, corners, and other miscellaneous items.  In order to construct these improvements, Council must pass a Resolution of Intent and set a Public Hearing for the project to allow for property owner assessments.

The Council may:
• Pass the Resolution of Intent and establish a Public Hearing; or
• Do not pass the Resolution of Intent and establish a Public Hearing.  If the Resolution of Intent is not passed, property owners cannot be assessed and the CTEP funding is inadequate to complete the project.

The proposed project is funded through CTEP, Gas Tax, and direct property assessments for an estimated total project cost of $360,000 as follows:

Estimated Assessed Costs	$    38,000
Estimated CTEP/Gas Tax	$  322,000

Staff recommends that Council approve this Resolution of Intent for W.O. 10-27 and set a public hearing for the March 12th Council meeting.
