Dear Property Owner,

Re: Local Improvement Charge Bylaw #2013-46 Ogilvie Street Reconstruction Project

File# 4025-01 OSW

The City proposes a capital project in the Ogilvie Street area which includes new water lines and sanitary sewer upgrades, improved fire protection, improved water drainage and sanitary services, improved street lighting, new asphalt paved surfaces with bike lanes, concrete curb and gutter with sidewalk and landscaping. This reconstruction project includes a local improvement portion that will provide funding for the cost of surface work which is detailed in the attached bylaw. This Bylaw was given first reading at the Regular Council meeting held September 23, 2013.

The City's Engineering Department has already introduced the project through a letter and a meeting on September lOth, and further engagement is encouraged. This letter and ballot are your official written notice of the proposed work, in accordance with the Municipal Act

The estimated total cost of the reconstruction project is $3,800,000, of which $475,341 constitutes the Local Improvement Charge (LIC) portion for surface works. Costs for the LIC are set at 2013 urban standard rate in accordance with the City's LIC Policy (attached), and the details for this project are included on your ballot (also attached). The City pays for the remainder of the project through the available capital funds.

The work funded by the City includes the balance of the cost of surface works under the LIC, the costs of all water and sewer work in the roadway, and installation of recirculating water services on your property and into the wall of your building. Work inside the building and replacement of your private sewer service (optional) will be the responsibility of the property owner. We have enclosed a diagram to illustrate the cost responsibilities, and the Engineering department welcomes any questions you might have. We have also enclosed a preliminary design of the proposed surface improvements to provide an idea of the final result. Detailed design would be done by an engineering consultant and would be developed in consultation with property owners if the project proceeds as a result of this ballot.

The benefitting property owners have 30 days in which to submit a vote or a negative written response to the City as to whether the LIC Bylaw should be approved for the above-noted project Therefore according to the Municipal Act, the ballots must be returned to the City by no later than November 1, 2013.
