SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Mayor Bailey requested a discussion about the idea of a LID to continue street improvements from Colorado Street south, similar to the Third Street Improvement Project underway. A memo
from Mayor Bailey (attached) outlining his timeline to direct staff to commence the LID process as required by State Statute.
From a staff perspective, the time associated with this process, design and project management is significant and complex. Therefore, staff would need to plan to modify existing work
plans and allocate staff resources if the Council identified this project as the top priority.
If this project rises above those projects identified in the Capital Improvement Plan, staff recommends the affected property owners should be engaged in the conversation prior to embarking
with the legal requirement even though LIDs can be imposed without property owners’ consent. It should be noted that there are a few property owners who have conceptually supported
the concept of a LID and several others who have expressed opposition to the idea.
While the LID a one tool for funding capital projects, the City Manager is working with a PHD Student from the Public Administration department at BSU who will identify and present to
the Council all of the funding tools available to accomplish capital projects. An update on this effort will be presented at the meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Discuss the idea of a LID as a funding source for additional infrastructure improvements.
Determine where 3rd Street improvement fits in the priority list of capital projects.
Direct staff to develop a timeline for the project based on overall City’s priorities and staff resources.
