Explanatory Statement

Since January 1, 2003, the Southwest Suburban Sewer District has provided sewer service to an area within the City of Normandy Park consisting of approximately 1,285 acres pursuant to a contract between the City and the District whereby the City sold its sewer system and service area to the District. This area of Normandy Park is generally described as the entirety of Normandy Park, excluding the areas known as Manhattan and Bonniewood that were previously annexed into the District and further excluding the area that is served by Midway Sewer District (referred to herein as the “proposed annexation area”).

A petition calling for the annexation of the proposed annexation area into the Southwest Suburban Sewer District was signed by more than ten percent (10%) of qualified voters residing within the proposed annexation area. The petition was presented to the District which accepted the petition and processed the petition in accordance with the statutory procedures set forth in Chapter 57.24 RCW. King County and the King County Boundary Review Board have approved of the proposed annexation subject to the approval by qualified voters at the special election scheduled for November 2, 2004. If the annexation is approved by a majority vote of qualified voters at the special election, the proposed annexation area will, upon certification of the election results, be immediately annexed into the corporate boundaries of the Southwest Suburban Sewer District.
