Street Improvements

Existing streets that are not concrete or asphalt paved and do not have adequate drainage can be upgraded by means of a petition of the property owners adjacent to the street to be upgraded. A single property owner can propose a petition to the other property owners and submit the results to City Hall for consideration. The petition must have a majority vote in favor of an upgrade. The project is put on a list and will be completed on a first come first serve basis as funds become available. The City funds the cost of the project and reimbursement to the city is accomplished by adding the cost per resident to their tax roll for a 10 year period with interest. Any resident may choose to pay a lump sum for their portion of the upgrade. Street size standards are the same as a new subdivision unless the existing upgraded street is of a different width. The city maintains the street after it is installed.
