STAFF REPORT
Authorization was granted in 1989 to proceed with about 53
parcels. These parcels were divided into 7 groups. Significant
protests were received from the fourth group. This program was
placed on hold while a program was worked out to alleviate the
cost to property owners.
A program was developed by the Economic Development Agency
to finance 50% of the cost from bond proceeds, for those parcels
for which a finding of mutual benefit can be made. The EDA has
determined that a finding of mutual benefit could be made on 12
of these parcels. Authorization to proceed with these 12 parcels
was granted at the Council meeting of 9-3-91.
The total estimated cost for installing necessary fill-in
street improvements adjacent to the remaining 23 parcels is
$125,216. Bond proceeds may not be used, since a finding of
mutual benefit cannot be made. Therefore, another source of
funds will need to be identified to finance 1/2 of the cost, for
those parcels whose owners agree to participate in the program.
It is recommended that the transfer of $62,608, from
Account No. 129-000-30405, "Unappropriated Reserve", to Account
No. 251-684-53925, "Fill-in Street Improvements - Chapter 12.92
(1991-02), be approved, in order to provide funding for the
City's 1/2 share of the cost. The Tippecanoe Avenue Project was
initiated by the County, and turned over to the City upon
annexation. Extensive right-of-way acquisitions will be re-
quired, which will delay progress on this project. The
recommended transfer will, therefore, not hold up construction on
this project.
Property owners will be notified that the City will
finance 1/2 of the cost if they agree to participate in this pro-
gram wi thin the specified time frame. A period of sixty days
will be allowed for owners to have the improvements installed.
If work has not been commenced within this 60-day period, the
City will proceed to have the improvements installed by contract
or City forces.
Approval was granted in 1984 for incidental costs to be
financed by the City on a similar project. This practice has
been followed on all subsequent proj ects, and is proposed for
this project.
Chapter 27 allows collection of 7% interest on the unpaid
balances of the assessments. We are proposing that interest be
collected.
Resolution No. 91-137, adopted on 4-15-91, stipulates that
the City will finance 50% of the cost for each parcel for which
owner agrees within a specified time frame to participate.
OWners willing to participate will need to fill out an applica-
tion form. An amount of $100,000.00 was approved on 5-21-91 from

For those parcels whose owners decline to participate, the entire
cost will be assessed under these proceedings.
The Development Department has developed a program to
finance the property owners' 50% share, for those owner occupants
of single family residences with low to moderate incomes. This
program will be financed with CDBG Funds.
