HomeMy Public PortalAboutR2299 R E S O L U T I O N NO. 2299 WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 87186 (Homeward & Starlit) was established
on petition by Ordinance No. 10336, adopted May 7, 1998, 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 Six Hundred Ten Thousand
Dollars ($610,000.00), and that the most practicable method of payment of the costs is
by special tax bills issued at the interest rate of 8.85% 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. 87186
(Homeward & Starlit) is necessary in the interest of public health; that such sewers
shall consist of approximately 4,136 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 8.85% per annum, or other evidence of
special benefit assessments upon the land benefited by such improvement is estimated
to be Six Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($610,000.00), such special tax bills to be
purchased by 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 near 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 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 August 13, 1998.
