RESOLUTION AMENDING
THE COST SHARING REIMBURSEMENT
FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF SIDEWALK, CURB AND GUTTER
Resolution 2020 – 25
WHEREAS, this new resolution replaces resolution 2012-05
WHEREAS, on the 18th day of November, 2020, the City Council was presented an
engineering proposal to amend the cost sharing formula for the replacement of sidewalks, curbs,
and gutters; and
WHEREAS, the costs have risen over the years without any change to the cost sharing
formula; and
WHEREAS, the property owners are required to maintain the sidewalks, curbs, and gutters
adjacent to their properties in the City of Rexburg; and
NOW THEREFORE, by resolution duly adopted on the date first above written, be it resolved by
the Mayor and the City Council the following changes to the cost sharing formula for the
replacement of sidewalks, curb, and gutters:
1. Sidewalk – change from $1.75 per square foot to $2.25
2. Curb & gutter – change from $7.70 per linear foot to $10.00
3. Portions of Driveway required to be replaced to meet ADA standard– $2.25 per
square foot
WHEREAS, The City Council desires to utilize a separate cost sharing formula for the
replacement of sidewalks, curbs, and gutters (cost sharing is excluded on driveway and apron areas
outside the sidewalk area, with the exception of portions of driveway replaced to meet ADA
standard) on properties added to a Local Improvement District (LID) in conjunction with a street
project.
NOW THEREFORE, by resolution duly adopted on the date first above written, be it resolved by
the Mayor and the City Council, the following cost sharing formula for the replacement of
sidewalks, curb, and gutters on LID’s:
1. Sidewalk – 30% of the contractor final sidewalk cost per square foot
2. Curb & gutter – 30% of the contractor final curb & gutter cost per linear foot
3. Portions of Driveway required to be replaced to meet ADA standard – 30% of the
contractor final cost per square foot
WHEREAS, in an effort to provide landscape strips for snow storage and mailboxes, create
better ADA mobility on property owner owned sidewalks, and reduce the road widths to create
traffic calming, a City council may elect to reduce the width of a street during reconstruction on an
LID at the time of creation of an LID. If such reduction occurs, the City Council may choose to
pass further savings that would come from lower street reconstruction and maintenance costs onto
the property owner by considering a cost sharing formula for the replacement of sidewalks, curb,
and gutter on an LID not to exceed:
1. Sidewalk – 50 % of the contractor final sidewalk cost per square foot
2. Curb & gutter – 50 % of the contractor final curb & gutter cost per linear foot
3. Portions of Driveway required to be replaced to meet ADA standard – 50% of the
contractor final cost per square foot
WHEREAS, any increased width in the new landscaped area adjacent to the new road
constructed during the LID would be the responsibility of the property owner to reconstruct, move
mailboxes into, and maintain
WHEREAS, such cost sharing reimbursement does not apply to the installation of new
sidewalk (see resolution 95-6) or new curb and gutter whether part of an LID or not.
RESOLVED this 18th day of November, 2020; City Council, City of Rexburg, Idaho.
