WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 90171 (Oakwood Lane) was
established on petition by Ordinance No. 8732, adopted August 12,
1992, 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, the entire cost of the installation of such
sewers including the engineering, survey and inspection costs, is
estimated to be Two Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($290,000.00),
and that the most practicable method of payment of the costs is by
special tax bills issued at the interest rate of Twelve percent
(12%) per annum, or other evidence of special benefit assessments
upon the land benefited by such installation,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the construction of
adequate lateral sanitary sewers in the area known as Subdistrict
No. 90171 (Oakwood Lane) is necessary in the interest of public
health; that such sewers shall consist of approximately 3,630
lineal feet of 8-inch sewers, which shall be capable of
efficiently serving or draining the entire local drainage area;
the entire cost of improvement, including the engineering, survey
and inspection costs, to be paid for by special tax bills issued
at the interest rate of Twelve percent (12%) per annum, or other
evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land benefited by
such improvement is estimated to be Two Hundred Ninety Thousand
Dollars ($290,000.00), such special tax bills to be purchased by
2
the District and held for collection, such purchase being done as
a cost reduction; 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
assessments 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 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
of such hearing.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED 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
3
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.
