Council to hold a public hearing and take action on Resolution No. 30-26 approving the assessments for
the street improvements located at Miller Road from Lower Buckeye Road to Pima Street, Capital
Improvement Project No. 105260, and authorizing the Mayor and City Engineer to assess the property

Infrastructure
SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project was advanced as part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to construct arterial
roadway improvements along Miller Road between Lower Buckeye Road and Pima Street. In
accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes § 9-243 and Buckeye City Code Chapter 20-13, the City is
authorized to assess adjacent undeveloped properties for the proportional cost of permanent
improvements constructed in advance of development. 
All required conditions for establishing assessments have been satisfied. The assessments do not
exceed the proportional cost of half-street improvements, are consistent with the City’s Engineering
Design Standards, and are based solely on actual costs incurred by the City. Additionally, all public
noticing requirements have been completed in accordance with City Code.
Following construction, as-built costs were prepared and include eligible improvements such as
pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalks, grading, landscaping, utility coordination, traffic control, and other
related construction activities. These costs were allocated proportionally to each parcel based on
frontage, consistent with City policy and City Code. 
The City Engineer has reviewed and approved the assessment calculations and has confirmed that the
assigned costs are proportionate to the benefit received by each parcel and comply with all applicable
statutory requirements. 
BENEFITS:
The improvements provide increased roadway capacity, enhanced traffic operations, and improved
safety through upgraded infrastructure consistent with the City’s Transportation Master Plan.
Additionally, the cost recovery mechanism ensures equitable allocation of infrastructure costs to
benefiting properties while reducing financial burden on existing taxpayers. 
FUTURE ACTION:

Upon Council approval, Resolution No. 30-06, which includes the assessment warrants for each parcel,
will be recorded with the Maricopa County Recorder and administered by Development Services.  At the
time of development of a property, payment of the assessment must be made, at which time a release of
the assessment for said property will be recorded.
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
The City has incurred eligible project costs associated with CIP No. 105260 for the construction of Miller
Road improvements. The total recoverable amount is up to $7,140,976, subject to development activity
within the ten (10) year assessment period. 
If applicable development occurs, the City will be reimbursed for the assessed amount at the time of
development of a property; any unpaid assessment will expire ten (10) years from the date of
assessment.
