not needing or desiring same, and
WHEREAS, it is also the desire of this Council to allow those wanting
sewers to have them providing others are not forced to participate,and
WHEREAS, this Council recognizes that the County Health Department policy
is to require sewers for new construction when sewers are available and
feasible, and
WHEREAS, it is desirable, but sometimes impossible, to draw District
boundaries to exclude all those not needing or wanting sewers,
NOW THEREFORE, the Council hereby resolves as follows:
A. FORTHE ENTIRE TOWN:
1. It is the policy of this Town to restrict new districts only
to those who want or need to be included wherever this is
possible.
2. In the special case where a resident is not on a boundary and
thus cannot legally be excluded, it is the policy of the
Town to establish units of benefit so that such a resident
will be assessed a lesser amount than those connecting.
This lesser amount shall consist of two parts as follows:
a. The amount required to reserve treatment rights in the
treatment plant and facilities of either the City of
Los Altos or the City of Palo Alto.
b. An amount commensurate with the value of having a trunk
or collector line nearby. If and when future connections
are made, a fair value, not less than the difference
between the amount paid by the original connectees and the
amount paid by the later connectees, must be paid.
B. FOR THAT PORTION OF THE TOWN IN THE PALO ALTO DRAINAGE BASIN:
It is the policy of this Town to reduce the impact of the Palo
Alto Contract by the adherence to the following policies:

in existing septic systems to connect to sewers wherever

in order to lessen the cost to all in the Palo Alto basin.
3. To periodically review the provisions of the Palo Alto
Contract with the hope of reducing any and all costs which
may legally be adjusted.

reducing same.
