'issue is to revoke Resolution No. 458 prior to the Court's determination of the pending litigation Involving Sewer Assessment District No. 9. He stated he believed p SAD #9 was proper and should have been accomplished at the time the Palo Alto sewer contract was negotiated. However he noted, with the existence of Resolution No. 458, If SAD #9 were overturned by the Court, there would never again be an opportunity for SAD #9 to form since again there would result a majority protest and politically there would not be the necessary 4/5th vote to override that protest. In reference to the "dire results that would come about, should the Town Sewer Policy be abandoned", he Illustrated the fallaciousness of these arguments by noting SAD #3 was formed nearly five years ago and there has not been any multiple housing develop- ment within SAD #3 nor any push to have such because sewers are avallabe there to those who have large tracts for development within that area. Councilman Kubby stated the charge that the Bonding authorities made a contrary opin- ion In the formation of Sewer Assessment District No. 4 from that expressed by Mr. J. Lynch in his confidential letter, was unsubstantiated. He noted that this assessment district Included 100% of the benefited property within Its area and there was not a question of someone being excluded because they did not wish to join the district and with that participation there was nothing wrong with the formation of SAD #4. Councilmen Davey and Miller concurred with Councilman Kubby's sentiments and noted the major problem facing the Town is the $110,000 due to the City of Palo Alto on July 1, 1972. Councilman Miller stated it was imperative to rescind Resolution No. 458 as it relates to the SAD 19 litigation; she also made a personal plea to Mr. L. Dawson (plaintiff in the suit) to withdraw his legal action against the formation of SAD #9. lhier Councilman Grabowski and Mayor Helgesson reaffirmed their support of the current Town Sewer Policy as defined in Resolution No. 458.
