The public hearing was opened. ~ Gary Wright, no address given, chairperson of the Citizen Advisory Team, stated that over 40 meetings were held by the CAT to obtain public input. He explained that the charge of the CAT was to determine how best to provide the sewer system, the CAT deciding that a gravity sewer was the most cost-effective system. Mr. Wright said the CAT decision did not preclude other options such as another city or a county service district, stating that these options existed more on paper than in reality. He said individuals were still allowed to pursue these options. He estimated that support for sewer implementation would be about 15 percent of the area population but added that most of those citizens, provided with the same information as the CAT, would reach the same or a similar conclusion as reached by the CAT. He said that a great amount of public input was received on the sewer system and he urged the support of the City Council to the sewer plan. There being no further testimony presented, the public hearing was closed. Mayor Keller thanked Mr. Wright for his work and the efforts of the CAT in the resolution of the problem. Res.
