WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 78 (Magnet Drive) was
established on petition by Ordinance No. 481, adopted December 22,
1960, and
WHEREAS, investigation has shown that such area is not
adequately served by lateral sanitary sewers and that the public
health is affected, and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 374, adopted January 19,
1961 the Board of Trustees declared the necessity of constructing
lateral sanitary sewers in such area at an estimated cost of
Thirty Three Thousand Dollars ($33,000.00); and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 385, adopted February 23,
1961 the Board of Trustees found and determined that it is in the
public interest that such improvement be made; and
WHEREAS, it is now estimated that the probable cost of
installation of such sewer will be approximately Forty Thousand
Dollars ($40,000.00) and that the most practicable method of
payment therefor is by special tax bills, or other evidence of
special benefit assessments upon the land benefited by such
installation,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that said Resolution
Nos. 374 and No. 385 be and they are hereby repealed; that the
construction of adequate lateral sanitary sewers in the area known
as Subdistrict No. 78 (Magnet Drive) is necessary in the interest
of the public health; that such sewers shall consist of
approximately 2,440 feet of eight inch pipe and appurtenances,
which shall be capable of efficiently serving the entire local
drainage area; that the estimated probable cost of such
improvement is Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00); that the
entire cost of such improvement shall be paid for by special tax
bills or other evidence of special benefit assessments upon the
land benefited by such improvement; and that such improvement be
constructed in said Subdistrict, such facilities to connect to an
existing public sewer adjacent to said Subdistrict.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that special benefit assessments
for the entire cost of such improvement be levied against all land
in the above described Subdistrict, whether public or private, in
the proportion that each such lot or parcel of land bears to the
entire benefited area of such Subdistrict, exclusive of public
streets, roads and alleys.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a public hearing be held
within said Subdistrict to afford all persons interested in said
improvement 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 Metropolitan St.
Louis Sewer District not less than ten days in advance of the date
of such hearing. The foregoing Resolution was adopted January 8, 1962.
