PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The annual encroachment assessments have been completed by the Finance Department and are ready to be spread on the tax rolls. An encroachment is any permitted private occupancy of the public right of way, such as fences, signs or downtown street-side patios. The Council must conduct a public hearing and then adopt a resolution in order to assess property owners for the encroachments.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Approve the resolution; or
- Not approve the resolution, and the Public Works Engineering Fund would be responsible to pay for the assessments.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The standard encroachment fee is $1/sq.ft. per year and a list of the assessments is attached. The total amount to be assessed is $27,018.56 for FY 20.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt the encroachment assessment resolution.
