The decision
What the record says
Consider the construction award
The September 8 Committee agenda lists the recommended $512,851 contract. The archive checked September 15 links a recording but no minutes; a final Council award or executed contract was not verified.
What changes
The action or work involved
Install an infiltrating alley
The design pairs concrete wheel strips with a permeable brick-paver center.
What follows
Effects on the neighborhood
Owners share the cost
The proposed funding splits costs equally between the City and abutting owners through an SSA. Final individual amounts depend on completed construction cost. Final enactment, an award and any individual bill remain unverified after the September 15 review.
Potential reduction in runoff
Infiltration may reduce local runoff, but this source gives no parcel-specific flood reduction or performance result.
Documented means stated in a linked source. Possible effects are conditional interpretations. A proposed or planned action is not an approval or a guaranteed outcome.
What to watch next
Next step
Verify the September 8 outcomes and any subsequent Council award. Obtain the enacted SSA ordinance, correct parcel exhibit and tax roll before identifying a charge; the posted draft has blank approval fields and an inconsistent cover label.
