Gem Lake City Council Meeting Page Three concerned about being hit with another assessment down the road when the other side of the road needs repairs, there might be a new City Council, and they would be billed again. They were told that for this project they would not be assessed again if their section of the road was not touched. There was a discussion between the City Council and the businesses discussing the use of the road with heavier trucks using that road. There needs to be an understanding on what the road can and cannot do. Mayor Uzpen offered a plan of paying the assessment in full up front or a five-year plan at two percent interest per year. The City Council will vote on this decision at the December 15, 2009 City Council meeting. 2010 Budget — Resolution 2009-18: Jessie Hart, from White Bear Township, presented the Cities' 2010 budget.
