City of Gem Lake City Council Meeting Minutes August 17, 2021 2 | Page Scheuneman Road Storm Water Report – Next Steps Three primary areas were investigated throughout the study area, with a total of six scenarios for the flooding and inundation and two scenarios for water quality options. Opinions of probable cost were developed for each. Of the three, the south area had the most inundation and the culvert area has 3-4 properties that were surveyed. Mayor Artig-Swomley expressed concern that all the options are very expensive and how can the City justify spending money on 3-4 houses that are being affected, when the options presented may not even solve the problem. There is a possibility that the City can get funding from FEMA. Mr. Gese will be sending a letter out to the resident located at 4076 Scheuneman Road about putting in a culvert at their own expense. The city will hold a workshop in October to discuss the plan and a special letter will be sent out to all Scheuneman Road residents including the Golf Course and a few Goose Lake Road residents. With the currently scheduled Workshop in October falling on Columbus Day, Mayor Artig- Swomley suggested we change the date and move it to the day after. Councilmember Lindner made a motion to change the date of the October Workshop from Monday October 11 to Tuesday October 12, seconded by Councilmember Cacioppo. Voice vote taken, all voted yes, motion passes, October Workshop date is changed. Gem Lake Public Trail/Tree Trust Report Resident Kim Anderson-Uzpen is getting ready to get her volunteers together to maintain the public land and walking trail. A plan has been established by the Tree Trust for where trees will be planted, and at this time there is not date, but it will happen eventually.
