WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 86 (Scottdale) was established
on petition by Ordinance No. 320, adopted September 28, 1959, 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. 269, adopted October 22,
1959 the Board of Trustees declared the necessity of constructing
lateral sanitary sewers in such area at an estimate cost of Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00); and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 273, adopted November 27,
1959 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 Two Hundred
Thirty-Six Thousand Dollars ($236,000.00), and that the most
practicable method of payment therefor is by special tax bills, or
other evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land
benefitted by such installation,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that said Resolutions
No. 269 and No. 273 be and they are hereby repealed; that the
construction of adequate lateral sanitary sewers in the area known
as Subdistrict No. 86 (Scottdale) is necessary in the interest of
the public health; that such sewers shall consist of approximately
16,200 feet of eight-ten-and twelve-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 Two Hundred Thirty-Six Thousand Dollars
($236,000.00); 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 benefitted 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 benefitted 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 on February 19, 1962.
