There was no further business, and the meeting was adjourned. September 13, 1966 Hearing on the preliminary assessment roll for Resolution of Intetion #2049 proposed Unit 4 sewers, was held on September 13, 1966 in the auditorium of the Edmonds Junior High School. Mayor Maxwell .called the hearing to order, with all councilmen present except McGinness and Kincaid. Mayor Maxwell introduced members of the City staff and the Council to the audience. He then read Resolution of Intention #204 and explained that it had been decided to proceed with this sewer unit under the comprehensive sewer plan because of petitions received for part of the area involved. Engineer Larson then gave the boundaries of Unit 4. Engineer Wayne Jones explained the scope and cost of the project and the zone and termini method of assessment. Mayor Maxwell gave comparison prices on LID's from 1948 to the present, showing the rise in LID costs over the years. Attorney Murphy explained the method of payment of assessments and the manner in which bids for construction and sale of warrants and bonds are received and awarded. Hearing was then opened. Mr. Jones, 60 P1. W., asked if storm sewers were to be included and whether bids are rejected if the cost is in excess of the engineer's estimate. In answer to his second question, the Attorney explained the lOf limitation which had been the law for cities of the Third Class, but that it had changed and the city can now exceed this 10% figure; but he was assured that the council would reject any bids that were unusually high. A lady asked if the sewer would go through private property and if the people on the higher ground would have to cross the lower property to connect. Mr. Chittenden, Olympic View Drive, inquired as to costs beyond the $9.48 per zone front foot and also if the costs of side sewer would be individual. He was told a pumping situation, if individually needed for a piece of property, would be an individual cost; that $10.00 inspection permit and $25.00 for trunk charge were made at the time of installation of the side sewer. Capt. Shields inquired if the side sewer may be installed by the property owner, and was told yes, or by a licensed side sewer operator. A gentleman re- marked that with the removal of the 10% limit, a city.can in effect accept almost any bid at any price. He was told yes, but that the City of Edmonds certainly wouldn't. A gentleman asked how the city computes the price on unbuildable property, and was told that it could be evaluated individually by the city council. Another gentleman asked if certain people could be excluded for certain reasons. He was told a revision of the plan to eliminate extra costs such as individual pumping situations, etc. might eliminate some properties. Mrs. Gould asked if 40% of the sewer line must go on private property necessitating easements, and if these individuals did not allow the city to have the easement, then what would happen? The Attorney answered this question with the statement that the city has condemnation powers. Another woman asked about the city sewer service charge which was added to her water bill when she was annexed to the city. She wondered if she would have to pay this as well as an additional charge for sewer service when her sewers are installed. This was answered by the fact that the sewer service charge on the water billing is charged everyone inside city limits for pay- ment of the bonds on the sewer treatment plant, and the only other payment after the sewer is in will be her yearly assessment. A gentleman noted that some areas would break down to a cost'of less than the $9.48 per zone front foot if the higher priced areas needing extra work were excluded, and why then was everyone penalized for this? He was answered that the law does not allow separating areas within the same assessment roll and $9.48 was an average amount for all to be charged to take care of the overage for some areas. It was then noted that the Seaview School area -north of 1961� can be served by the Seaview School line and properties adjacent must connect to the sewer within 60 days, with a zone front foot cost of $5'.50. A gentleman asked how many property owners really want this sewer, and it was brought out that several petitions had been received. This same gentleman added.that in June of 1965 he got a building permit for a septic tankand was told that this area would not be sewered for some time. The comprehensive sewer plan was dated July 1965 and adopted by council. at tha.t.time, and on the basis of petitions received, the sewer district for Unit 4 was started with the recommendation of the engineer that the entire area as described under Unit 4 on the compre- hensive sewer plan be sewered in its entirety because of health hazard and effluent in -the streets in scattered sections throughout the area. A gentleman asked if the city would go a more feasible route rather than use condemnation methods, and was told that they were always open to suggestions. A gentleman asked how do you arrive at the cost per zone front foot.' This was explained. Another man asked, about the completion .date for this project and was advised that it would probably be the fall of 1967. A woman asked why the city couldn't have two LID'.si.instead of the one and put all the side hills in one LID since they are re- sponsible for the high cost. A man on 92nd inquired as to what percentage of property must sign a petition to start a project. He also asked about street maintenance. He was told the council can pass a Resolution of Intention without any signatures, but that in this case, .several petitions with several signatures had been received, as well as a letter from the 1 • 1
