WHEREAS, simultaneous with its establishment, the Town of Victor will cause the Horsepower Motorworks Sewer District to be consolidated into the Town of Victor Consolidated Sewer District, so as to eliminate the additional administrative burden and costs associated with the operation of multiple sewer districts; and

WHEREAS, the proposed improvements include: A private connection to an existing manhole; and
WHEREAS, the maximum amount proposed to be expended by the Town for the Horsepower Motorworks Sewer District and associated improvements is the sum of zero dollars ($0.00), as the applicant will pay for the capital cost thereof; and
WHEREAS, since there will be no capital cost to the Town for the Horsepower Motorworks Sewer District, no financing will be employed and it is therefore not necessary to obtain the approval of the New York State Comptroller’s Office; and

The current Town of Victor Consolidated Sewer District and the Horsepower Motorworks Sewer District (as proposed and described in the MPR referred to herein) will be consolidated so that the area and infrastructure of the Horsepower Motorworks Sewer District is added and consolidated into the Victor Consolidated Sewer District. The consolidation will eliminate the annual need for additional expenses in the administrative oversight of multiple sewer districts. The existing debt of the Victor Consolidated Sewer District will be spread across the newly consolidated Victor Consolidated Sewer District. This consolidation will not be effective unless and until the Horsepower Motorworks Sewer District is fully established in compliance with NY Town Law; and

WHEREAS, maintenance and operation charges will be calculated as more specifically set forth in the Victor Town Code at Chapter 162; and
WHEREAS, a hook-up fee will be charged in accordance with Chapter 162 of the Victor Town Code; and
WHEREAS, the Report describing the Horsepower Motorworks, and the Agreement, are both on file in the office of the Town Clerk where they are available for public inspection; now, therefore be it
