RESOLUTION NO. J
Be it resolved by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Wichita
Falls :
Whereas, for several years the Water Department of the City of
Wichita Falls had been following a policy requiring the deposit
of the total construction costs of water facilities in sub-
division, both inside and outside of the corporate limits ; and
Whereas , the City has limited funds and it impossible to make
water main and sewer extensions tos- +
areas or subdivisions and
Whereas, various individuals are requesting that the City extend
its water lines and the sewer lines take in the subdivisions ; and
Whereas, the Board of Aldermen of the City of Wichita have decided
to set a definate policy to be followed by the director of utilities
of said City in making any extensions either to existing water or
sewer lines ;
Now therefore, from and after this date, it shall be the fixed 'Policy
of the City of Wichita Falls to require the prepayment of the es-
timated cost of any extension to its water or sewer facilities ,
either within or without the corporate limits of the City, to any new
subdivision thereof. The costs of these extensions shall include
the total cost of onsite and offsite water and sewer facilities
and the developer shall pay for the cost of extending the main
from the point in the City limits or outside of the City limits
where available water or sewer capacity is large enough to provide
the necessary facilities for the subdivision in question. The City
of Wichita Falls will then install such extensions out of funds
deposited by the subdivider with it for that purpose. After all
water and sewer facilities have been installed the City agrees to
repay the subdivider for monies expended by him for subdivisions
inside of City limits out of one/third of the gross revenue obtained
from the water and sewer service in such subdivision, payable at a
fixed annual accounting period date. Such payments shall be made
until such time as the subdivider is reimbursed for funds deposited
by him with the said City of Wichita Falls, without interest thereon, but
such payment shall not excede the period of (15) fifteen years.
If the subdivision is outside of the corporate limits of the City
of Wichita Falls, the City agrees to repay the subdivider only at
such time as the subdivision is annexed to the City of Wichita Falls,
Texas, but the water and sewer facilities shall be depreciated seven
per cent of the total cost for each year after completion of the same .
Passed and approved this /Y`-day of November 1951 A.D.
