RESOLUTION 2019-18
A RESOLUTION LEVYING AN ANNUAL SPECIAL MAINTENANCE FEE FOR STREET SURFACES
WHEREAS, well-maintained public streets are necessary for the health, safety, and
welfare of the citizens of the City of Spearfish; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Spearfish has determined that it is in the
best interests of the City of Spearfish and its citizens to regularly inspect, maintain, and
resurface its public streets and not permit Spearfish’s infrastructure to deteriorate to the
point of failure; and
WHEREAS, SDCL § 9-43-76 authorizes the City of Spearfish to levy special
assessments for local improvements, such as public streets, on private properties
benefiting from those public improvements; and
WHEREAS, the City of Spearfish has, in the past, levied special assessments on private
property adjoining public streets to resurface, repair, and reconstruct those streets; and
WHEREAS, SDCL § 9-43-138 authorizes the City of Spearfish to levy, for the purpose of
maintaining or repairing public improvements, an Annual Special Maintenance Fee upon
the lots fronting and abutting any municipally-maintained public improvements within the
City of Spearfish; and
WHEREAS, in the judgment of the Common Council of the City of Spearfish, residents
of the City of Spearfish prefer to pay an Annual Special Maintenance Fee for the
purpose of maintaining or repairing public improvements, as is specifically authorized by
statute, as opposed to a much larger special assessment as specific streets are
repaired or reconstructed;
NOW THEREFORE, the Common Council of the City of Spearfish makes the following
legislative findings:
1. It is in the best interests of the City of Spearfish and its citizens for the City of
Spearfish to complete regular and frequent street maintenance and resurfacing
projects; and
2. Assessing an Annual Special Maintenance Fee permits the City of Spearfish to
complete regular and frequent street maintenance and resurfacing projects; and
3. Regularly inspected, maintained, and resurfaced streets generally benefit every
property within Spearfish, every resident of Spearfish, and user of streets within
Spearfish; and
4. Properties fronting and abutting regularly inspected, maintained, and resurfaced
streets receive an actual, physical, and material special benefit over and above
the general benefit conferred on all persons and properties, to include:
a. The convenience of not having the street(s) abutting one’s property
deteriorate to the point of requiring major reconstruction as opposed to
merely minor resurfacing or routine maintenance;
b. Reduced wear and tear on personal vehicles caused by frequent trips on a
poorly maintained street abutting one’s property;
c. Enhanced aesthetics, curb appeal, marketability, and property value;
d. The future benefit of replacing, resurfacing, and maintaining a street
before the end of its useful life;
e. The future benefit of preventing a loss in value associated with a poorly
maintained street; and
f. Preventing, through inspection, maintenance, and repair, damage to
private property resulting from settled or heaved curbs and water flow.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
Spearfish, Lawrence County, South Dakota, that all taxable real property parcels
fronting and abutting a city street shall be assessed a special front foot fee of forty (40)
cents per front foot; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that forty (40) cents per front foot is the amount
determined by the Common Council of the City of Spearfish to be the amount of the
special benefit conferred upon the assessed properties over and above the general
benefit; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that no taxable real property parcel fronting and abutting
a city street shall be assessed more than forty dollars, annually per platted lot; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Administrator of the City of Spearfish,
Lawrence County, South Dakota, be and the same is hereby instructed to direct the
County Treasurer to add the fee to the general assessment against all taxable real
property parcels; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Finance Officer of the City of Spearfish, certify
the fee together with the regular assessment to the County Auditor to be collected as
municipal taxes for general purposes.
Dated this 5th day of August, 2019.
