WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 247 (DeSmet Florland) was
established on petition by Ordinance No. 1729, adopted March 28,
1968, and
WHEREAS, investigation has shown that such area is not
adequately served by storm 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 Three Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) 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 the construction of
adequate storm sewers in the area known as Subdistrict No. 247
(DeSmet Florland) is necessary in the interest of the public
health; that such sewers shall consist of approximately 3,050
lineal feet of 72, 78 and 84-inch sewer which shall be capable of
efficiently serving or draining the entire local drainage area;
that the estimated probable cost of such improvement is Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00); 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 flow into or be connected with
existing public storm sewers located 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 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
