FIELD PUMP STATIONS AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF.

DSP 230'2) in order to accommodate sewage discharge by the new Sheraton Inn and
Convention Complex recently completed at Buchanan Field.

for modification of the pump stations resulted from a reevaluation of
engineering, design by staff which would significantly increase pump station capa-
city. Mr. Horstkotte noted that the $35,000.00 collected in fees was based on
a previous District fee schedule subsequently revised upward by Board action.
