COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM

TO: Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee Members


FROM:
Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager


DATE: September 26, 2018


SUBJECT:

DISCUSSION REGARDING UNDERGROUNDING FOR NORTH BAY ROAD AND ALTON ROAD


HISTORY:

At its May 16, 2018 meeting, the City Commission referred an item to the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee to further discuss undergrounding for North Bay Road and Alton Road. 

 

CURRENT STATUS

 

On September 6, 2018, the City mailed a petition form to residents on North Bay Road, between Alton Road and La Gorce Drive/Pine Tree Drive Circle, in order to allow the subject residents to advise the City whether they are in favor of funding the undergrounding of utilities with special assessments. The petition forms must be returned to the City by October 8, 2018, in order to be counted. Following this deadline, a tally of petitions will be transmitted to the City Commission via Letter to Commission.

Historically, petitions to create underground utility districts have been circulated and submitted by City residents and/or neighborhood associations. In this case, the City Administration affirmatively distributed petition forms, on a pilot basis, to residents on North Bay Road, between Alton Road and La Gorce Drive/Pine Tree Drive Circle.


CONCLUSION:

The following is presented to the members of the NCAC for discussion and further direction.
