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 June 11,1996 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 April 16, 1996. 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 #574
I Lane Lighting
II Pavement & Curbs, Local Residential
III Lane Pavement, Local Residential
IV Speed Humps
V Pedestrian Collector Sidewalks
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, June 11, 1996.
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 $70,000.
The location and individual costs of this work will be reported in a
subsequent Manager's Minute upon completion of the necessary design
work.
Capital Funds
Funds for the City's share of the projects are available from existing
Engineering Department Basic Capital Accounts.
Second Step
The General manager, Corporate Services 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 $2,365,491. The property owners share of these
projects is $923,266. The City's share is $1,442,225. I have to
report that the necessary financial arrangements can be made to carry
out this work.
