The City has not increased its summer street maintenance assessment for over ten years. In order to continue to
provide services within the City right-of-way without raising properry taxes, the Mayor has recommended a Right-Of-Way
maintenance assessment which will help finance part of the cost of maintenance within the City right-of-way. This Right-
Of-Way assessment will include the old summer street maintenance assessment in addition to an assessment for winter
street maintenance, boulevard tree maintenance and trimming, and sidewalk maintenance.
RIGHT

MAINTENANCE
QUESTIONS?
Right-Of-Way Maintenance includes sweeping, flushing, patching, and chip sealing streets and alleys, patching,
blading, and placing crushed rock on unimproved rights-of-way, street overlays, litter pick up, ordinance
enforcement, and emergency service, snow plowing including sanding and salting, snow removal, snow emergency
including tagging and towing, sidewalk maintenance and repair, and boulevard tree maintenance and trimming.
In previous years the City's winter street maintenance and tree maintenance programs were paid by the City's
General Fund (property tax money). This proposed Right-Of-Way Maintenance Assessment will ensure each
property which benefits from public right-of-way maintenance pays its fair share of the cost of the maintenance.
Properry owners will continue to be responsible for sidewalk shoveling and boulevard grass mowing.
Remember... The City does not snow plow alleys.
The cost of right-of-way maintenance in Saint Paul is about $21.3 million for 2003. Of this amount, the Mayor
proposes to collect approximately $14.3 million in assessments. The remaindes comes (rom Municipal State Aid,
Trunk Highway Aid, County Aid, miscellaneous receipts, and General Fund contributions.
If you have questions about your right-of-way maintenance or frontage, call (651) 266-8857. City staff will be
available to answer last-minute questions in Council Chambers from 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm on Wednesday,
November 6, the same day as the hearing.
