WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 2003144 (Kehrs Mill Trails Subdivision
Sanitary Sewers) (2003144) was established on petition by Ordinance No.
12196, adopted May 11, 2006, 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 total probable cost of the installation of such
sewers including the engineering, survey and inspection costs, is estimated to
be Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00), and that the
most practicable method of payment of the costs is by special tax bills issued
at the interest rate of three percent (3.0%) 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. 2003144
(Kehrs Mill Trails Subdivision Sanitary Sewers) is necessary in the interest of
public health; that such sewers shall consist of approximately 19,000 lineal
feet of 1.25 to 4-inch diameter, low-pressure sanitary force main and
appurtenances 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 three percent (3.0%) per annum, or other evidence
of special benefit assessments upon the land benefited by such improvement is
2
estimated to be Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00),
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 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 the second or last required
public hearing will 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 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 November 8, 2007.
