The Miscellaneous Program consists of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and storm drain improvements at various locations around the city.  It consists of the continuation of annual improvements that deal with tripping hazards, drainage problems, property owner requests, complaints, and other miscellaneous concrete work brought to the attention of the City Engineer's office.  Typically, the property owners are responsible for paying for sidewalk replacement and the city is responsible to pay for curb and gutter replacement.  Gas tax funds are utilized for curb and gutter replacement and storm drain funds are utilized for the replacement of inlets or addition of inlets at corners needed throughout the project.  Gas tax funds are also used for corner lot subsidies.  The property owner is responsible for sidewalk replacement on the shortest side of their lot.  Fire Funds are being utilized to repair a couple of sidewalk hazards adjacent to Fire Station 2, located on South Broadway.

The Council may:

• Pass the Resolution ordering construction of the improvements; or
• Do not pass the Resolution ordering construction of the improvements.  If the Council does not pass the Resolution, the property owners cannot be assessed and the work will not occur because there is no other source of funding.

The proposed project is funded through multiple sources, including direct property assessments, for a total budgeted amount of $581,920.
