Feivor said that there were a few questions he would like to ask. This subdivision is on the East Fork Water Supply and on septic systems . What time frame will it be before the services are completed to this area from the City? City Manager Gus Pappas said if you were to annex into the City , if you are on septic tank you can stay on this system as long as you wish . There is a charge of a minimum sewer rate which each property owner would have to pay . Sewer is across the street and you can tap onto this line as soon as you are annexed and want to . As far as the cost of tapping onto the sewer line , the City would estimate the cost and extend a payment plan over a brief period of time for each property owner who wanted to do it that way . The City would not force you to join these services immediately . Mr . Feivor said that on the road situation , City Manager Gus Pappas said something about getting our money together . City Manager Gus Pappas said the only thing the City can do for the road right now is to patch them and get these roads on the street program for reconstruction . At the time the roads are reconstructed , there will be individual contracts for each property owner on their portion of the road . Mr . Feivor wanted to know if this subdivision annexed into the City of Wylie , would these streets be through streets into the adjoining subdivision . City Manager Gus Pappas said if the property owners wanted these streets to connect with the other subdivision , then the City would see that it was done . If the property owners do not want through streets , then the City would leave them as they are . Mr . Feivor wanted to know how long before these streets would be done . City Manager Gus Pappas said that would be up to the people . If the Council agrees and the people are ready to pay then there is a chance they would be done this year . Mr . Feivor said he wanted Council to know that this subdivision was not corning just for a hand out for their 23 JLieeLb . Mr . Feivor thanked the Mayor and Council again for this time . CONSIDER APPROVAL OF INCREASE IN COMPENSATORY PAY FOR MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL . This is the appropriate time for this matter to be handled by the Council with the election just ahead of us . According to our Charter , if an increase is approved now , only those places which pass through the election process this April will receive the increase , places up for election in 1987 will receive the increase in 197 .
