WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 259 (Meacham Park Lateral) was
established on petition by Ordinance No. 1317, adopted April 22,
1965, 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, it is estimated that the probable cost of
installation of such sewers will be approximately Five Hundred
Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($525,000.00), 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 the construction of
adequate lateral sanitary sewers in the area known as Subdistrict
No. 259 (Meacham Park Lateral) is necessary in the interest of the
public health; that such sewers shall consist of approximately
17,510 lineal feet of 8 inch pipe, which shall be capable of
efficiently serving or draining the entire local drainage area;
that the estimated probable cost of such improvement is Five
Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($525,000.00); 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 flow into or
be connected with proposed public subtrunk sanitary sewers to be
constructed by Subdistrict No. 257 (Rayburn Avenue Subtrunk).
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 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 May 28, 1965.
