WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the prior considerations and
<br />determinations by City Council as contained in Resolution No. 99-085 as to the public necessity
<br />and need for the aforesaid project have remained unchanged; and,
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that, subsequent to the original
<br />review of the aforesaid project, it has been determined by engineers on behalf of the City that
<br />the aforesaid sanitary sewer extension for the Cope Addition project needs to be expanded to
<br />accommodate additional properties in the Cope Addition, Suburban Estates Addition, Golden
<br />Acre Addition, and certain tracts in the E. Crow Survey along Meadowlark Street, Mockingbird
<br />Street, Cope Street, Pine Mill Road, Thomas Drive, and Welch Circle not within the scope of
<br />the original project, such expanded project being consistent with the original considerations
<br />regarding providing adequate sewer to the affected citizens in protecting the health, safety, and
<br />welfare; and,
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, the prior estimate for the cost of the project has now been escalated to a
<br />total cost of $ plus engineering costs to accommodate the expanded scope
<br />of said project; and,
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, as a consequence, in order to comply with State law and City ordinance,
<br />it is necessary to conduct a subsequent public hearing concerning the estimate of the project
<br />cost, the public need and necessary for said project, to consider passing an ordinance levying an
<br />assessment on benefitted property, and to receive input from the affected citizens and the
<br />citizens in general regarding the aforesaid project; and,
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, the City Council did heretofore, on August 13, 2001, in Resolution No.
<br />2001-130, approve setting a public hearing concerning the same at the regular Council meeting
<br />on October 8, 2001; and,
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, due to scheduling conflicts the October 8, 2001, regular Council meeting
<br />was consolidated with the Thursday, October 4, 2001, regular Council meeting, and the October
<br />8, 2001, public hearing was changed by prior Resolution No. 2001-144 to the October 4, 2001
<br />date; and,
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, it would be right and proper to have a second public hearing concerning the
<br />same at the regular Council meeting on Monday, November 12, 2001, at which time the City
<br />Council will consider whether or not the project expansion and accompanying assessment
<br />should be had; NOW, THEREFORE,
<br />
<br /> BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, PARIS,
<br />TEXAS:
<br />
<br /> Section 1. That the findings set out in the preamble to this resolution are hereby in all
<br />things approved.
