WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 91112 (Ozark & Tablerock) was
established on petition by Ordinance No. 10871, adopted December 14, 2000, 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 Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District has agreed to
contribute Two Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($230,000.00) toward the
construction of sanitary sewers for said Subdistrict, and
WHEREAS, the entire cost of the installation of such sewers including
the engineering, survey and inspection costs, is estimated to be Six Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($650,000.00), and that the most practicable method of
payment of the costs remaining after the contribution from the District is by
special tax bills issued at the interest rate of two and one-half percent (2.5%) 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. 91112
(Ozark & Tablerock) is necessary in the interest of public health; that such sewers
shall consist of approximately 4,515 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
2
paid for by the contribution from The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District and by
special tax bills issued at the interest rate of two and one-half percent (2.5%) per
annum, or other evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land benefited
by such improvement is estimated to be Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($650,000.00), 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 for the
cost remaining after the contribution from the District 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
3
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 and procedures 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 March 8, 2001.
