Res 1864 10/7/1976RESOLUTION NO. 1864
RESOLUTION AMENDING SECTION 1 OF RESOLUTION
NO. 1829, WHICH ESTABLISHED POLICY GOVERNING
PAVING OF ALLEYS.
WHEREAS, there appear to be certain discrepancies
between Resolution No. 1829, which established policy
governing paving of alleys, and Resolution No. 1596,
which set alley construction rates and provided for method
of payment; and,
WHEREAS, it is considered advisable to resolve
this apparent discrepancy.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF
ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
Section 1 of Resolution No. 1829 is hereby amended
to read as follows:
SECTION 1. The following policy is hereby es-
tablished, governing the paving of alleys in the City
of Wichita Falls, Texas.
A. When an alley is paved under this program,
it will be paved by City forces, and the abutting
property owners and users of refuse collection service
shall pay for same on the following basis: for those
property owners and refuse collection service users
who pay their part of the costs for the alley paving in
advance or within thirty days after the paving is
completed, the rate shall be $1.75 per foot; for those who
do not pay within thirty days after the paving is com-
pleted, the rate shall be $1. 97 per foot, payable over
a thirty-six month period. In no event however, shall
anyone making installment payments be charged more
than ten percent per annum for that option.
B. When an alley is to be paved for the container
collection system, the Public Works Division shall mail
written notice thereof to abutting property owners and
r j
refuse collection service users not less than thirty
days prior to the beginning of the paving construction;
such notice shall show the amount of the charge against
each owner or user, based on the length of the pro-
perty abutting the alley. Such notice shall also show
that, if such charge is not paid within thirty days after
the paving is completed, an increased charge to cover
the costs of collection and handling will be added to
their City utility bills in thirty-six equal monthly
installments.
C. If the owners of at least fifty percent of the
abutting property in a block other than one provided
for in B. above, desire that the alley in such block
be paved, and they pay their part of the cost of such
paving in advance, the alley will be paved by City
forces, and the abutting property owners and refuse
collection service users will be charged therefor at
the rate set in A. above, based on the length of their
property abutting the alley. Prior notice shall be
given to the owners and users as provided in B. above,
informing them of their payment options. If any owner
or user who made an advance payment, paid more than
the charge attributable to his property, then he will
be reimbursed for such excess payment from collections
received from the other owners and users, after the City
has first been paid one hundred percent of the cost to
be borne by the owners and users. "
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 7th day of October,
1976.
