AN ORDINANCE relating to local improvement districts; providing for
approval of local improvement district project plans,
for supervision of work, and for determining construc-
tion costs to be borne by the City; amending Section
8.12.045 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code; and
•
repealing City of Yakima Resolution No. C-1051.
WHEREAS, by City of Yakima Resolution No. C -1051, adopted
April 6, 1953, the Yakima City Commission declared that local improve-
ment district assessments for installing water lines shall be
limited to the cost of installing lines of 6inches diameter or
smaller, regardless of the actual size of the lines installed, and
WHEREAS, current fire underwriter's standards require water
lines in excess of 6 inches in diameter be installed in most areas,
and the Water -Sewer Fund of the City lacks sufficient reserves to
subsidize the installation of larger water lines now found to be
necessary or desirable for most projects; and the City Council
411 finds that Section 8.12.045 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code
should be amended to so provide and that Resolution No. C -1051
should therefore be repealed, now, therefore,
