<br /> <br />~ <br />EN HILLS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />September 9, 2003 <br /> <br />RE: Karth Lake Improvement District Public Hearing Notice I Project Bid Award <br /> <br />Dear Karth Lake Area Resident <br /> <br />Please be advised that the Arden Hills City Council will hold a public hearing on <br />September 29, 2003 at approximately 7:00 p.m. to consider the creation of a lake <br />improvement district for K.arth Lake. At the same meeting, the Council will also consider <br />the bid award for the pumping project <br /> <br />As a follow up to the July 31, 2003 City Council mccting, the City Council voted to <br />proceed with the installation of a permanent pumping solution for K.arth Lake. Further, <br />the Council directed city staff to solicit bids for the project and to begin the process of <br />creating a lake improvement district. As indicated at the meeting, the water will be <br />pumped from K.arth Lake through Guidant and ultimately follow the natural drainage <br />pattern to Valentine Lake. <br /> <br />For clarification, at the July 31,2003 Council meeting a household project cost estimate <br />of approximately $750 per property was provided. Subsequently, after researching lake <br />improvement districts on a more detailed basis, city staff and the city attorney have <br />determined that the cost cannot be allocated as a uniform assessment to all properties. <br />Rather, it is necessary to levy taxes on properties within the lake improvement district <br />As such, depending on a homeowner's market value and the ultimate bid for the project, <br />the cost may be slightly higher or lower. It is anticipated that parcel specific estimates <br />will be available prior to the City Council meeting once bids for the project have been <br />received. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />If anyone should have any questions about the above, please feel free to contact me. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />, <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br /> <br />CC: Mayor and City Council <br />Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator <br />Tom Moore, Director of Operations Maintenance <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City or Arden Hills . 1245 West Highway 96 .
