City Council is expected
vote today on an amendment to
the new sewer policy which
would give a reduction in con-
nection costs to areas that aie
paying city taxes but nut now
getting sewer services.
The policy, passed on the
first reading with two readings
left to go, calls for the cost ol'
$2 per foot for sewer connect
City Councilman Louie Welch
proposed an amendment which
would take off 20 per cent of
that cost for areas which have
paid taxes without getting city
services for one year.
The proposal would call
subsequently for a 40 per cent
discount where there has been
no services in return for taxes
in areas paying for two years-
60 per cent off for three years,
80 per cent for four, and no
cost for those areas that have
done without services though
paying taxes for five years.
On the same question of fin-
ancing the sewer line expansion
to new subdivisions, Council-
man Lee McLemore asked for a
study of the application of se-
wer charges.
Public Works Director Eugene
Maier has estimated that a mon-
thly $1.25 sewer service charge
would bring in about $3 million
in revenue.

KIRBY STREET PAVING
Councilman McLemore asked

on the paving project of Kirby

The project is in this year’s
budget for right-of-way work
and in the first half of next
year’s for paving work. Total
cost is to be some $330,000 of
which West University Place has
agreed to pay $26,000.
“I can see no reason why some
action hasn’t been taken,” Mr.
McLemore said, “especially when

The five-member committee
will use figures brought forth
by citizens as compared to those
presented by the Tax Depart-
ment to determine if the re-
evalutions — which doubled
property assessments in many
cases—were discriminatory.
Tax Assessor-Collector Ellis
Allen said he had a ratio study
completed by his department
that hit pretty accurately the
city’s intended rate of re-evalu-
ation.
He said the study would bear
out that in most cases the re-
evaluation was 38.5 per cent of
the property’s current real mar-
ket value.
