2Public Hearing 2026 Overlay Assessment
Council held the assessment hearing for the 2026 overlay project, with the city engineer presenting the project locations, rationale for doing an overlay to extend pavement life, and the per-unit assessment approach. Residents asked questions and raised concerns about whether some streets (such as Morton Farm Preserve and 224th Court) needed the work now, whether per-unit assessments were fair, and when/ how assessments would be billed and paid; staff explained the statutory notice language versus actual timing, that payment occurs after final costs are known, and that assessments are typically amortized over time. Council closed the hearing and noted the next step would be bid award/contract action at the next meeting.
