Res 661 10/10/1966RESOLUTION NO. 661
WHEREAS, it appears that unpaved alleys increase the cost
of refuse collection, for the reason that the rough conditions
of such alleys reduce the life of the collection equipment and
increase the maintenance costs thereof; consequently, the pav-
ing of alleys is very desirable to lower the cost and improve
the efficiency of the sanitation department; and,
WHEREAS, it is considered desirable to institute a program
of alley paving with the participation of the abutting property
owners .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF
THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS , THAT:
The following policy is hereby adopted governing the paving
of alleys in the City of Wichita Falls, Texas.
When some of the property owners in a block desire that the
alley in such block be paved, then if 50 per cent of the property
owners ' share of the cost of such paving at the determined rate
per foot be paid in advance, the alley will be paved by City
forces and the balance of the cost charged to the remaining pro-
perty owners . The charges to the remaining property owners shall
be made by an increase in their refuse rate over a thirty-six (36)
month payment period. Those property owners who made advance pay-
ments will be reimbursed for such advance payments on property
other than their own from collections received from the other pro-
perty owners, after the City has been reimbursed.
