COUNCIL POLICY

Policies governing the Local Improvement process are set out in the Vancouver Charter and Local Improvements Procedure By-law.

PURPOSE

A Court of Revision is scheduled for December 1, 1998 at 7:30 p.m. to review a number of petition and initiative projects. This is the "First and Second Step" report for the petition projects. The report for initiative projects was approved by Council on September 29, 1998. The purpose of this report is to begin the formal Local Improvement process by advancing the petition projects to the Court of Revision and to report on the financial arrangements for the projects. Approval of this report does not commit Council to undertake the projects.

First Step
As required by the Local Improvement Procedure By-law, projects for:

Court #587

I. Street Lighting
II. Lane Lighting
III. Pavement & Curbs, Local Residential
IV. Lane Pavement, Higher Zoned
V. Lane Pavement, Local Residential
VI. Speed Humps
VII. Pedestrian Collector Sidewalk
VIII. Sidewalk

shown on the attached schedule (Appendix I) are advanced to Council by Petition for review at a Court of Revision which will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, December 1, 1998.

Drainage Prior to Paving

In addition to construction of the petition paving projects, advance drainage work involving installation of catch basins and storm drains must first be carried out. Based on past experience, we estimate the cost of this work to be in the order of $30,000.

The location and individual costs of this work will be reported in a subsequent General Manager of Engineering Services Funding Transfer upon completion of the necessary design work.

Capital Funds

Funds for the City's share of the projects are available either from existing Engineering Department Basic Capital Accounts or are subject to approval of the 1999 Streets Basic Capital Budget.

Second Step

The Director of Finance reports as follows:

In accordance with the Local Improvements Procedure By-Law, I am submitting the attached City Engineer's Report. The estimated cost of these projects is $1,108,293. The Property owners share of these projects is $409,024. The Citys share is $699,269. I have to report that the necessary financial arrangements can be made to carry out this work subject to approval of the 1999 Street Basic Capital Budget.
