1963.11 was received and read: Mr o Harold Ho Babcock Utilities Director City of Englewood City Hall Englewood» Colorado Dear Mr o Babcockg teSHIVFllSs BANTA & 1-hMARTIN Attorneys At Law Noo 2 Sherman Building 3470 South Sherman Street Englewood, Colorado January 15» 1963 Rez South Arapahoe Sanitation District I have been requested to determine the position of the City of Englewood concerning a possible amendment of the Connector's Agreerrsnt now existing between South Arapahoe Sanitation District and the City of Englewood with respect to the area known as Vista Verde Subdivision now serviced by a lift station located on South Pennsylvania Street between Preston and Quinn Avenue so The reason for the request is that the Board of Directors of the Dis~., trict has under consideration the possibility of eliminating the lift station and if negotiations are CODJ>leted satisfactorily to themb to the construction of an outfall line connecting with the facilities of Littleton Sanitation District Noo 10 and the faoili ties of the City of Littletono This problem is the result of continued difficulties involved in the operation of the lift station3 the exorbitant maintenance and power costs, as well as public demand from the improvement association and individual inhabitants of the area with regard to the noise» odor am appearance of the station as now located and operated.a The Board of Directors of the District are of the opinion that the in= stallation of an outfall line to connect with facilities of Littleton Sa.n= i tation District ~)oo 10 would be far less expensive than replacing the existillt lift station with pumps and equipment of such size as would service the area and that subsequent costs would be less than continued maintenance and power costso If this could be accomplished.o then the CODJ>laints from the inhab= itants would be completely eliminated and the problems confronting the District would be greatly minimizedo Thm-e are approximately 321 taps on the line being serviced by the lift station at the present time~ including residence~ a school and a churcho The line is now overloaded and some action must be tclcen in the immediate future to correct this situation., While it is realized that there will be a certain revenue loss to the City of Englewood it is not to the best interest of the District to continue the expense and resulting complaints by the existence of the station, if the same can be removedo Discussions are being had with Littleton Sanitation District Noa 10 and the City of Littleton, ~mo appeared receptive to the position of the District at a minimum costo However» before such negotiations can be finalized it is necessary to determine the position of the City of Englewood on the question of disconnecting the taps and eliminating the property mw being serviced by the suation from the Connector's Agreement with the Cityo Accordinglysi it would be appreciated if' you could advise whether or not the City would be receptive to an amendment to the Connector's Agreement~ should an arrangement satisfactory to the District be reached with Littleton Sanitation District Noo 10 and the City of LittJ.etono Since this is a matter of an urgent nature, it would be appreciated if I could receive your advise in this regard by the time of the next meeti~ of the Board on February
