RALPH BORYSIAK RE: ASSESSMENT FOR OAK PARK SEWERS Mr. Ralph Borysiak, 2101 Oak Park Drive, was present. Mr. Borysiak said he has City water and sewer service and has been paying water and sewage charges since he purchased the home in 1973. He noted that when the Oak Park sewers were installed he did not believe he would be involved since he already had service. He has now received a bill from the County Treasurer's Office for the Oak Park sewer assessment. Mr. Borysiak said he has been attempting to contact the previous owners of the.house for information. It was his understanding that when a private sewer was installed for Eddie's Restaurant and the .Capri Restaurant, service was also supplied to his residence. Mr. Farrand said when such an arrangement is mande, the property owner pays for the sewer installation to the private sewer contract holder and there is no record that this payment was made. He asked that Mr. Borysiak contact the previous owners and get additional information regarding how the sewer installation was paid. He said if the previous sewer installation was paid for, Mr. Borysiak would not be charged for the Oak Park Sewer assessment since he would not benefit from it. Mr. W Farrand said the Engineering Office would continue to check into the matter. The Clerk was instructed to notify the Barrett Law Clerk that this assessment is presently under study by the Board.
