Mayor..Tury stated that if they were put in legally there would be no additional assessments-even if there would be realign- ments necessary. Mayor Tury requested that Mr. Dickey look-into the corner lots at this time and get them completed. CM 9-9-80 Page #3 Marshall Street MIS from Temple City Blvd., to Ellis Lane: Mrs. Annette Hernandez, 3701 Temple City Blvd., inquired if she understood correctly that on a corner lot if she had already been assessed for an improvement on one leg of the property she would not be assessed for the other. Councilman Taylor stated that this has been the Council policy in the past, and if she had been assessed previously she should not be assessed again. Mrs. Hernandez inquired what was the difference between the cost of $7 or $8 a foot. Mr. Robert Dickey, Assistant Manager, stated that this is an estimated cost only since the project must go to the low bidder. Mrs. Hernandez also inquired why the property owner has to pay for sidewalks on city property. Councilman Taylor stated the City has been improved,except for sidewalks, up to 93% or 94%, of all the streets and in the past all of the residentshave paid for.-curbs, gutters and sidewalks and - it is only fair that the remaining few* properties pay their fair share. Mayor Tury stated that the city pays approximately 80% of the improvement costs and the property owner pays approximately 20%...The costs do fluctuate. The 80% is for the street improve- ments and engineering, and the 20% is for the curb, gutter and sidewalks, Robert Dickey, Assistant Manager, stated that the Council's policy is essentially to assess for the concrete work. The pro- perty owner in a cooperative effort with the City is investing in their own property and also-investing in the City in terms of making it a viable community. It amounts to where the City pays for all of the paving, base material and engineering and inspec- tion and all of the ancillary types of things that go into put- ting in a street. The property owners expense is the material and installation cost of the concrete work, usually, curbs, gutters. and sidewalks. This becomes a unit bid price in the contract and usually the ratio is 80/20. This,can vary depending on the unit. price. Ralph Terceano, 3704 Ellis Lane, inquired if he had to pay the curbs and sidewalks of his corner lot. Councilman Taylor stated that he has curb's & gutters on Ellis Lane and that he would be assessed for sidewalks on Ellis Lane and with the Council's concurrence the curbs & gutters on Marshall would not be assessed since he was assessed last year.
