Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada stated that this is what would be their assessment for the alley paving project. The City Council previously approved using LB840 to help offset the cost of the paving assessment. Legislative/Development Committee member Tom Crisman asked if this would be to use the LB840 fund to help pay for the assessment. Council member Anthony Fitzgerlad stated that he had a tough time using the tax payer dollars to help offset private business or individuals. Ourada stated that alleys have been assessed in the past and they would have been faced with a crossroads. The City Council has stated in the past the alleys are like roads and they can not afford and sustain to general obligated street reconstruction. By law alleys are treated exactly like a street. This alley is in really bad condition. The City had the choice to do an alley paving and have it being protested out and not doing it. This was the way of getting that done and serving the public interest and in a way also helps a private interest. The City Council had previously approved using LB840 funds for this project and these are the applications for the individual projects.
