SUBJECT: BASINS A, B, AND C SANITARY SEWERS IN THE RIVER ROAD AREA LOCAL IlVIPRDVEMENT DISTRICT On May 29, 1990, the City Council initiated the local improvement district for sanitary sewers in the River Road area for basins A, B and C. This district encompasses those parcels served by the sanitary sewer construction in 1990 in the River Road area. The majority of the properties taking sewer access from these facilities will be assessed based on a distribution of the cumulative construction and staff service costs for the three basins and for the sanitary sewer trunk levy of $0.025 per square foot of the total lot area. In Ordinance na. 19725 adopted October 22,1990} the council determined the Trunk Sewer Levy ~$0, 025 per sq. ft. }portion of sanitary sewer assessments in River Road area is to be used to reimburse the City far the cost of the extra capacity required in the sewer interceptor and lateral lines to serve properties within the River Road area. That determination applies to these assessments.
