<br />4 4. Supplemental Report, Crest Heights Advisory Committee - ,Three' members of the Crest
<br /> Heights committee submitted a supplemental report to the report previously submitted, I
<br /> with regard to sanitation problems in the Crest Heights area. The supplemental report
<br /> covered what was felt by the three members of the committee to be omissions which
<br /> vitally affect the area: (1) Comparative time elements involved in obtaining sewers
<br /> for the:area if it depends upon creation of a:metropolitan sewer district as against
<br /> that if the area annexes to the City; and (2) creation.of the metropolitan sewer dis-
<br /> trict would not solve the problem of fire hazard because of antiquated water lines.
<br /> EWEB could come 'into the area with water on its own:only if the area is annexed to the
<br /> City. Recommendations of the report were (1) to annex the Grest Heights area'to the
<br /> City without delay and to institute a crash program for sewer installation, and (2) ex-
<br /> tend tentative boundaries of such annexation to include all of the College Crest Water
<br /> District and that area lying south of the College Crest Water District which has
<br /> natural drainage into 'it to prevent pollution from above. The Public Works Director
<br /> said sewer can be extended to the area within a reasonable length of -time, but it must
<br /> be under~tood it might be two years or more after annexation before s~rvice would be I
<br /> available l?ecause of necessity for acquiring easements. Mrs. Lauris moved seconded
<br /> by Mrs. Hayward to inform'the memb,ers submitting the supplemental report that the City
<br /> 'would consider annexation upon petition initi~ted by people in the area, the boundaries
<br /> to be worked out with the staff to restrict the annexation to an area which can be
<br /> served 'by sewers. Motion carried. .
<br /> Mr. Lassen moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to approve Items 3d, 3e, 3f, and 4 of the Committee report. I
