Sanitary Sewer Extensions
City of Boynton Beach, Florida
Project No. 5754-8f
Gen~/emen:
As you are awar~, the recently implemented Refunding and Improvement
Revenue Bend Issue included the cons~-uot/on at an early stage of ad-
ditional sanitary sewers.
Essentially, the project financed from the bond proceeds consists of
providing sewers for Systems lA, 2B, 5, SA, 5B, 10 and 10A as previcrus-
ly indicated on sheets 1 to 4, inclusive, of the project maps issued
concurrently with the Preliminarf Eng/neering Repor~ dated August 1964o
It is estimated that the to~al cost of proM/ding sewers in these areas
will not exceed $i, i00,000, which includes cons~.ructio~n costs, con-
t~ngenoies and all other attendant costs.
The necessi%y for providing the additional sewage works e,~enSlons was
one of ~he prime mot/vatin~ factors for iraplementLnG the new financing
plan. In order to assure ~he City the accrual of additional revenues
from ~he proposed ex~ensio.ns in accordance %~lth the method of financing
es~abllshed~ it is necessary to ~ro~eed as soon as possible with placing
the proposed improvemer~s into opera,/on. It is ~ '~herefore ~ recommended
that the Ci~ of Boynton Be. ach consider taking ~ follo~Lng action at
~he earlies~ possible date:

s~hedules, tentative target dates fo~ aah~ert/sing for bids,
etc.
We shall be pleased to distress the matter with you in more detail should
you so desire. If necessalT, may we suggest a special meeting with the
City Council at its convenience, to discuss the improvements as recom-
mended in order that final plan preparatton can be initiated.

Attention: Mr. Tom Kain, City Manager
Genti amen:
During the past few weeks we have discussed the present sewer
rates and rate categories with both the City Manager and the City
Attorney. It is our opinion that the present rate schedule may
cause Inequities in certain rate categories. However, we feel
that in order to achieve a rate schedule equitable to all users
that it will be necessary to carefully study the problem over a
period of two to three months, particularly since the City has
had little experience in billing on this basis.
'We further feel that the anticipated expansion of the system will
influence the final rate schedule and that we cannot accurately
formulate the rate schedule until such time as our surveys have
been completed on the proposed expansion and a careful house
count made. Therefore, we are suggesting that along with the -
author!zation for suveys and final plans that the City Council
authorize us to prepare a detailed repor~ on rate and rate cate-
gones ro be presented in February 1965. This will give us and
the City adequate t~me to solve this problem to the best interest
of ail the citizens of Boynton Beach. In the meantime some in-- -
equities on the present rate schedule will exist. However, the
period of time contemplated is not lengthy and any additional
financial burden ~mposed on users at the present time will not
be severe.
Very truly yours,
