W.O. 16-09 will improve Grand Avenue from 52nd Street West to 58th Street West. Improvements will consist of installation of a multi-use path and other miscellaneous related items. All of the City properties within the project boundary have either paid for their portion of the improvements through a cash contribution or are obligated to pay for them through an agreement with the City, with the exception of Hope Church. These properties include Vintage Estates, Grand Peaks Subdivision, MK Subdivision, Daybreak Subdivision, Trails West Subdivision, and School District 2 for the Ben Steele Middle School.  In order to assess the Church property for its share of path costs, Council must pass a Resolution of Intent to assess the property and hold a Public Hearing to allow for property owner comments and protests. The assessments for this section of Grand Avenue are for the same types of items as were agreed upon from other properties along this street.
 

The Council may:
• Pass this Resolution of Intent and set a Public Hearing for the March 27th Council meeting; or
• Do not pass this Resolution of Intent and do not set a Public Hearing date. Funding for the property owner improvements would need to be found in order to continue with this section of Grand Avenue.

The proposed project is funded through multiple sources, including direct property assessments, for a total estimated project cost of $4,025,000 as follows:
 

Assessed Costs	$25,000
CIty Funds	$2,200,000
Developer Contributions	$1,000,000
School District 2	$800,000

Funding for the proposed project is identified in the Capital Improvement Plan and in the Fiscal Year 2017 budget.

Staff recommends that Council approve this Resolution of Intent to assess property for W.O. 16-09 and setting a public hearing on March 27, 2017.
