<br />;8 <br /> <br />TUESDA.Y <br /> <br />AUGUS!? 11, 1959 <br /> <br />In a comprehensive report submitted to the City Council on November 28, <br />1956, the City's consultants, Wiley & Wilson, advised the estimated cost <br />of improving and expanding the sewage collection facilities of the City <br />and providing for adequate treatment would be $3,627,310. The Council <br />in 1957 studied four alternate methods of financing the program. One of <br />the methods, involving a 7-year construction schedule, was selected and <br />submitted to the voters on November 5, 1957. The program was defeated by <br />8% of the vote. <br /> <br />City Council established, effective June 1, 1958, a new sewer service tariff <br />to enable conunencement of collection of funds for the over-all project. <br />Under the tariff present sewer users pay a monthly sewer charge based on <br />approximately 70% of their monthly water billing, non-users (but potential <br />customers) pay a monthly charge of 50% of their monthly water billing. <br /> <br />The 20% differential on users is applied to maintenance and operation of the <br />presently existing system. All of the 50% for non-users and the remaining <br />50% for users is assigned to the improvement program. The breakdown alloca- <br />tion is by specific Council policy. <br /> <br />From June 1, 1958 to December 31, 1959 the total revenne from sewer charges <br />assignable to the program (the 50%) will have been ~~196,375.33. December 31, <br />1959 is used as a date it might be assumed the program would officially get <br />under way and any new service charges would go into effect, should a bond <br />election be successfully held in the coming late fall. <br /> <br />Of this total the breakdown allocation will have been: <br />Plans $109,500.00 <br />land and ri f)1 t-of -way 3 ,000.00 <br />Cons truction 83,875.33 <br />$196,375.33 <br /> <br />Balances in each of these breakdowns tentatively will be, as of December 31, <br />1959: <br /> <br />land and right-of-way <br />Expended to Aug. 1, 1959 <br />Balance <br /> <br />$109,500.00 <br /> <br />- 86,500.00 <br />$ 23,000.00 <br /> <br />$ 3,000.00 <br />31.00 <br />$ 2,969.00 <br /> <br />Plans <br />Less paid to engineers <br />on 2 year program <br />Balance <br /> <br />It is anticipated all this will have been expended by December 31, 1959: <br />Cons truction $ 83,875.33 <br />Less for Lanier Lake Outfall- 34,200.00 <br />$ 49,675.33 <br /> <br />Plus for Druid Hill School <br />reimbursement <br />Balance <br /> <br />D , 198.00 <br />$ 62,873.33 <br />
