Committee advances assessment for 2024 sidewalk replacement and missing gap program Phase 16

The City of Troy Streets and Sidewalks Committee on March 30 advanced an ordinance of assessment for the 2024 sidewalk replacement and missing gap program Phase 16, a project staff said covers 10 properties in the Carriage Crossing, West Main Street and Troy Town Drive area.

City staff told the committee the work has been completed and that property owners were properly notified. Staff noted that the appeals deadline is "actually tomorrow" and that the department does not anticipate receiving appeals. Staff again summarized the payment option: owners would have 30 days to pay or could have the charge placed on property taxes and spread over five years.

Committee members had no additional questions. Mr. Schilling said he could move forward as recommended and the members present indicated unanimous support to forward the Phase 16 assessment ordinance as recommended by staff. No emergency legislation was requested and no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

Next steps: because the appeals deadline is imminent staff expects the item to move forward; if council considers and enacts the ordinance, affected property owners would receive the payment options staff described. The committee then adjourned.
