WHEREAS, the District has heretofore adopted Ordinance
No. 1304 establishing the Watkins Creek Trunk Subdistrict of The
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District and delineating the
boundaries thereof; and
WHEREAS, it is the sense of the Board of Trustees of
The District that it is necessary, in the interest of the public
health of the District, that improvements be made in the
subdistrict established by Ordinance No. 1304,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT that an improvement
in the Watkins Creek Trunk Subdistrict of The Metropolitan St.
Louis Sewer District is necessary in the interest of the public
health, and that the improvement shall consist of a sanitary trunk
sewer system extending from the northern terminus of the
Mississippi River Interceptor Sewer of The Metropolitan St. Louis
Sewer District near the intersection of Interstate Highway 270 and
Riverview Blvd., then extending westwardly and northwestwardly
therefrom up the Watkins Creek valley to a point near Parker Road.
Such sanitary trunk sewer system to be of sufficient size and
capacity to provide adequate sanitary sewer service for the
estimated ultimate population of the Watkins Creek Trunk
Subdistrict.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the probable cost of such
improvement is estimated to be One Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($1,500,000.00), based upon preliminary plans prepared for
that purpose available to this Board, and upon the advise of the
Executive Director.
That the payment of the entire cost shall conform with
the requirements of Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 of
the Eighty-ninth Congress, under which the United States is
authorized to make a grant in aid not exceeding 50% of the
construction cost and the remainder must be paid by such
subdistrict.
That the part of the cost to be paid by such
subdistrict, which is Nine Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Dollars
($935,000.00), shall be derived from the sale of general
obligation bonds, payable both principal and interest by and from
an annual tax on all taxable tangible property within such
subdistrict, provided such bonds are authorized by a vote of the
registered voters in the Watkins Creek Trunk Subdistrict at an
election to be hereafter held for that purpose in accordance with
the Plan of the District. The foregoing Resolution was adopted December 8, 1966.
