<br /> Councilman Williams echoed her comments. He :s.aid he realized it would not satisfy the

<br /> sewered and it would be less' expens'ive to do it now than five years, from now. t

<br /> Mrs. Mayer asked' fora 45-day delay in execution of, the contract to give those people
<br /> obj ecting to ,the proj ect an opportunity to work out a solution other than installing
<br /> the line. She said she had received conflicting statements from the engineering de-
<br /> partment with regard to assessment for. the Spring Boulevard sewer, and she wanted tOl.
<br /> try to work out some alternative to avoid the "costly as'sessment" amounting to $2000
<br /> wi thout 'includinghouse conrtections in some instances. Mr'. Allen acknowledged. that :,
<br /> the contract could be held for 45 days; that would be a Council decision. ,He cautioned,
<br /> however, that a 45-day extension would take construction into the rainy season and its
<br /> attendant problems.

<br /> Manager felt the only alternative possible would be to make provision for further pump-
<br /> ing into the Spring Boulevard line and he didn't consider that a long-range solution.
<br /> Mr. Allen added that designs were regulated by the DEQ and there weren.'t many alterna-
<br /> .tives for'this overall system that wouldn't involve a "hodgepodge" of individual con-
<br />e nections including other properties along Spring Boulevard now using septic tanks.!..

<br /> and,18th Avenue area~ Mr. Allen said the petition started with representation of 36%
<br /> of the properties to be assessed but in final analysis amounted to only 12.4%. However,
