WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 428 (Lakeshire Lateral) was
established on petition by Ordinance No. 3138, adopted October 13,
1976, 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 Thirteen
Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($13,200.00), and
WHEREAS, the District proposes to pay for the outfall
portion of this project at an estimated cost of Eight Thousand
Four Hundred Dollars ($8,400.00), and
WHEREAS, the entire cost of such improvement exclusive
of the outfall costs is estimated to be Four Thousand Eight
Hundred Dollars ($4,800.00), 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. 428 (Lakeshire Lateral) is necessary in the interest of the
public health; that such sewers shall consist of approximately 404
lineal feet of 8-inch sewers which shall be capable of efficiently
serving or draining the entire local drainage area; that the total
estimated probable cost of such improvement is Thirteen Thousand
Two Hundred Dollars ($13,200.00); that such total cost shall be
reduced by the District absorbing the cost of the outfall portion
of such lateral sanitary sewer system, contingent on appropriate
procedure; that the entire cost of such improvement, exclusive of
outfall costs, to be paid for by special tax bills or other
evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land benefitted
by such improvement is Four Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars
($4,800.00), and that such improvement be constructed in said
subdistrict, such facilities to flow into or be connected with
existing public lateral sanitary sewers located adjacent to said
subdistrict.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that special benefit assessment
for the entire cost to those properties benefiting from 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.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that at such public hearing,
those persons owning real property within such subdistrict be
informed that the District will encourage them to make the
improvement by private means, as it is generally recognized that
there can be a saving over some of the necessary costs of tax
bills; that such methods, procedures and estimates of alternate
costs be given to them, and that they be told that the District
will proceed in its usual manner toward having the sewers
constructed by the tax bill method, but that if before such
contract for construction is advertised, the construction is being
done by private means then, of course, the District will refrain
from proceeding. The foregoing Resolution was adopted December 1, 1976.
