WHEREAS, Proposed Ordinance No. 107-60 was introduced
to establish Benefit Subdistrict No. 109 (Oakborough) for the
purpose of extending the public sewer system by acquiring,
extending, and improving a private sanitary sewer system owned by
Town Service, Inc., at the expense of such subdistrict, the
boundaries of which were delineated in said Proposed Ordinance,
and
WHEREAS, those persons interested who attended a public
hearing on said Proposed Ordinance, held Monday, June 20, 1960, at
8:00 o'clock p.m. at the Moline Elementary School, 1860 Chambers
Road, St. Louis County, Missouri, were in favor of establishing
such subdistrict, and said Proposed Ordinance has been duly
enacted as Ordinance No. 429, and
WHEREAS, investigation has shown that the area of such
Benefit Subdistrict No. 109 (Oakborough) can not be efficiently
served by both private and public sanitary sewer systems, that the
public sewer system can be extended by purchase of said private
system, and that the public health and welfare can be better
protected by a public system, and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that the probable cost of
extending the public sewer system by purchasing said private
system will be approximately One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars
($160,000.00), of which One Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Six Hundred
Dollars ($152,600.00) is the agreed purchase price and the
remainder is the estimated sum required to be advanced by the
2
District for necessary expenses incident to such purchase, and
WHEREAS, the most practicable method of payment for
said private sewer system is by special tax bills or other
evidence of special benefit assessments on the land benefited by
such purchase,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the extension of
the public sewer system by the purchase of a private sanitary
sewer system in the area known as Benefit Subdistrict No. 109
(Oakborough) from Town Service, Inc. is necessary in the interest
of the public health and welfare; that such private system
consists of trunk, subtrunk, and lateral sanitary sewers and
appurtenances of adequate capacity, together with appropriate
easements for sewer purposes and all other rights, whether within
or without said Benefit Subdistrict, necessary to provide sanitary
sewer service to the land within said Benefit Subdistrict; that
the estimated probable cost of such purchase is One Hundred Sixty
Thousand Dollars; and that the entire cost thereof shall be paid
for by special tax bills or other evidence of special benefit
assessments upon the land within the boundaries of such Benefit
Subdistrict all of which will be benefited by such purchase and
extension of the public sewer system.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that special benefit assessments
for the entire cost of such purchase be levied against all lots or
parcels of land in the above described Benefit Subdistrict,
whether public or private, in the proportion that each such lot or
3
parcel of land bears to the entire benefited area of such Benefit
Subdistrict, exclusive of public streets, roads and alleys.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a public hearing be held
within said Benefit Subdistrict to afford all persons interested
in said purchase an opportunity to be heard; that such hearing
shall be held at such time and place as the Executive Director
shall determine, but not less than ten nor more than thirty days
after the adoption of this resolution; and that notice of such
hearing shall be given by the publication of notice in at least
one issue of a newspaper of general circulation within The
