RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt the encroachment assessment resolution.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The annual encroachment assessments have been completed and are ready to be placed 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
City Council may:
- Approve, or;
- Disapprove, and the Public Works Engineering Fund would be responsible to pay for the assessments.
FISCAL EFFECTS
The proposed FY21 encroachment fee for Tier 1 encroachments is $2 per square or linear feet per year and the proposed encroachment fee for Tier 2 encroachments is $2 per square foot. A list of the assessments is attached. The total amount to be assessed is $52,890.00 for FY21.
