Moved by Colburn, seconded by Hogue, Mr. Proctor's request be turned over to the City Manager for a report, Mayor Gautereaux pointed out the improvement district was petitioned by the people and not initiated by this Council; we have no control over the boundaries of this district; the annexations involved fall within the boundaries of this improvement district. B. V, Elkins, Special District Services, was present and stated a petition was received in 1963 by the County Board of Supervisors for serving the area of Lincoln Acres with sanitation facilities (this was also requested by the San Diego County Health Department as a public health necessity); the petition represented over 60% of the property owners within the boundary of the pro- posed assessment district. Mr. Elkins stated the proposed agreement between National City and the Spring Valley Sanitation District allows National City to utilize the Spring Valley outfall pump and relieve the pump stations now serving areas within National City; National City will utilize certain lines to be constructed under the 1911 Act and in return the District will use certain lines now existing in National City and assess properties in National City that benefit. Mr. Elkins stated the route of the proposed sewer lines was imposed by the topography and all adjacent properties will benefit; the district was formed under Government Codes, Street & Highways and Public Health and Safety. Mayor Gautereaux stated the people who have annexed to National City have asked to be excluded from the improvement district. Mr. Elkins stated they can be excluded at any time; it is only a proposed assessment district; the lines would have to be redesigned so as not to serve the people who have become residents of National City. Councilman Morgan stated he did not believe any of the people living in National City wished to be excluded from sewers, they would like National City to assume the cost of these lines and pay $400.00 or $450,00 when they hook up.Mr. Elkins stated there is no assessment on the property benefited until completion of construction. Councilman Morgan stated there has never been an assessment district in National City for sewers. C. W, Proctor stated they were not included in the Sanitation District at the beginning and then annexed to National City; he would deed land to enable the lines to go through the back of his property but he would not pay for the lines. City Manager Hess summarized events relative to the Spring Valley Sanitation District and stated National City's share of the cost would be $40,500.00., to be paid over a 15 year period. City Manager Hess read Resolution No. 8796, adopted on October 27, 1964, author- izing the City Manager to execute an agreement for the use of Spring Valley - Sanitation District's outfall sewer, The City Manager stated the new agree- ment is virtually the same as the old agreement, there are a few changes suggested by our attorney and the City of San Diego is no longer involved, Councilman Morgan asked how much it would cost the City of National City to install this trunk line. City Manager Hess stated the property was in the county and there has not been a full survey of the area by the City, City Manager Hess stated a sewer bond was retired in 1963. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Hogue, the matter be referred to the City Manager to contact the County and see what the cost of these sewers would be. Councilman Hogue stated he voted for the assessment district and wished to apologize to the people of Lincoln Acres, he was. not aware they had been promised sewers if they annexed to National City. Councilman Hogue stated in regard to Mr. Elkins' statement that petitions were circulated, he would like to 'know whether or not the people annexed to National City signed this petition. Mr. Elkins stated over 60% of the entire district signed the petition; the hearing on - the Resolution of Intention has not been held and when the plans and specifi- cations have been filed and rights -of -way obtained, they would have an estimate of the cost of the project. Mayor Gautereaux stated an assessment district is governed by State law; policies are subject to change and this is the most equitable way to service the area. Vice Mayor Allen stated promises were not made to these people; policy was explained to them, policy that was followed until these funds ran out; the District was formed after petitions were signed; we did not institute this, it will be necessary for them to go to the County and petition themselves out. E, H. Alsdorf, 2105 "3" Avenue, was present and stated when the tidelands were sold, the money was to be used for sewers in 4/6/55 60 National City. City Manager Hess asked if a portion might be withdrawn and what the proportion of cost would be. Mr. Elkins stated a sewer of sorts could be run up Ridgeway Drive; however, at the very back of the property they would have a sewer line provided by the District; they have to follow this course and at the same time there would be a city main in their street in front, the property sewered front and back and at extra cost. Councilman Morgan stated the people of Lincoln Acres don't want any help; they want to pay the City when they hook up to the sewer; he was not proposing they withdraw but proposing the City pick up the tab until the people hook up. LeRoy McClellan, 3135 Shelby Drive, was present and stated to his knowledge none of the people annexed to National City had been contacted. Mayor Gautereaux asked that the motion be read. (Motion: Moved by Colburn,seconded by Hogue, Mr. Proctor's request be turned over to the City Manager to contact the County to see what the cost would be for the sewer.) Mr. Elkins stated the 1911 Act project will not get underway until after the hearing on the Resolution of Intention, set up for the purpose of going ahead or to stop; there is no project as yet, only a petition for service; the property owners will be notified of the hearing. He further stated for an exact estimate of cost it would be necessary to proceed with the plans and specifications and this cannot be done until after the hearing on the Resolution of Intention, Second to motion withdrawn by Councilman Hogue. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Colburn, the City Manager prepare an estimated cost to the City for the installation of sewers in this area. Mayor Gautereaux stated this will cause considerable consternation and delay the entire project which is proceeding pursuant to Public Health requirements, Mayor Gautereaux recommended the motion be oppcsed and we proceed with the resolution authorizing the City to sign the contract with the County. Councilman Hogue stated he wanted a report, it did not indicate which way he would vote, Mr. Elkins stated the total estimated construction cost of the project is $318,000.00; to serve this area the City would have to pump the area without utilizing the Spring Valley Sanitation District pumping stations which would add considerable cost.
