Attorney Oliver feels a discussion will be needed between the developer and the City to see what expenses will the City be responsible for if the facility is built. This issue was discussed at the Ramsey County Sheriff meeting and it was stated at the meeting by the Sherriff that the 911 calls would increase if this facility were built. The Sherriff also stated Senior Housing costs more and Gem Lake can be charged for the service. This can be done, but needs to be looked into more. The City will need to review the rental licensing fees. The City cannot charge more than Public Safety services charge.
