City Administrator

FROM; F.E. Peters., P. Eng.-,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Local Improvement Project =
Public Works Committee, July 20th, 1982:

RECOMMENDATION:

That the work of Local Improvement requested by
petitioners on the 3900 block of Sefton Street be approved by
Council.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

In February of this year I reported to Council on two
Local Improvement projects for which petitions had been
received in 1981. The two projects were storm sewer and
pavement on St. Anne Street at an estimated cost of $434,000
and for paving on the 3900 block Sefton Street which was
estimated.to cost $87,000. A copy of the earlier report to
Council is attached. ,

Council set aside the report at the time in order to
allow changes to be made to the Local Improvement Bylaw. These
changes have now been made and new rates set for the property
owners' share. In the meantime, economic circumstances have
changed and the Public Works Committee no longer feels that the
City is able to afford its share of the St. Anne project.
Therefore, the current recommendation is to go with the project
on Sefton Street at an estimated cost of $87,000 with
approximately $14,400 recovered from the property owners.

~ In addition to the two above mentioned Local
Improvement requests, there are five other outstanding requests
on a list maintained by the City Clerk. of these, three are
dated in 1971. These three include the 3700 block Killarney
Street, the lane south of the 1600 block Prairie Avenue, and
the 1900 block Salisbury Avenue. These have been rejected in
the past by the Public Works Committee for various reasons and
it would not seem appropriate to bring them forward at this
