5791.2 STOBB'S BAY CITIZENS' ADVISORY COMMITTEE Statement of Need - The City Council has deternined that while many residents within the Stubb's Bay Sewer Stidy Area have expressed support for a sewer project, there appears to be a lack of concensus on the extent of the area to be served, as well as general concern on the part of the Council and residents about the neighborhoods' ability and willingness to pay the high costs of such a project. The City has proposed to serve properties east of Tonkawa Road, south of the Luce Line, and eastward to the Leaf Street area. The City has recognized that some neighborhoods within the defined project area need sewer more than others, but omitting some areas may raise the cost of the project for those remaining. A method of financing Including a partial assessment and partial connection charge has been proposed by the City in order to limit the City's financial risk in proceeding with the project. This financing proposal has not gained the support of a substantial number of residents. Charge to Committee - In an effort to involve the residents of Stubb's Bay in the decision making process, and to assist the Council in determining whether and how a Stubb’s Bay Sewer Project should go forward, the Council hereby appoints the Stubb's Bay Sewer Citizens' Advisory Committee, and charges the Committee with the following tasks: 1. Review all information prepared and presented to date. 2. Develop any additional necessary facts/figures/ Information with assistance of staff. 3. Make a recommendation as to the scope of project that should be considered by the City, i.e. recommend which neighborhoods should be served and if possible, place a priorty status on which of these areas should be served first (or at all). 4. Make a recommendation as to cost allocation for those to be served. 5. Research the various methods of financing the Stubb's Bay Sewer Project, deliberate the alternatives, and recommend a preferred financing method that may be acceptable to both the residents and the City Council. 6. Work with the City staff and consultants as necessary to accomplish the above and make a written recommendation to the City Council by July 1, 1991 for presentation to the Council at their July 8, 1991 meeting. 7. Suggest methods to gain acceptance of the project by those in areas where the need is the greatest.
