A portion of all sewer charges that Gem Lake <br />residents pay go into a restricted fund to be used for <br />future repairs. In this case, repairs are projected to <br />cost about $40,000.The project will be discussed <br />again at the July 16 City Council Meeting. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />National Night Out <br /> <br />This year's National Night Out is scheduled <br />for Tuesday, August 6. The purpose of this <br />annual event is to promote community crime <br />prevention efforts by getting neighbors to <br />meet each other, form neighborhood watch <br />groups and learn about simple ways they <br />can make their communities safer. The <br />national event started in 1984 as way to <br />promote police-community partnerships. <br /> <br />For several years, the City of Gem Lake has <br />sponsored an event at Heritage Hall in the <br />hopes that neighborhood events would <br />begin to blossom. They have. Last year <br />several citizens sponsored their own picnics <br />and parties and asked their neighbors to join <br />in. The need for another event at Heritage <br />Hall has declined and the attendance at last <br />year's National Night Out showed this. The <br />food was great but there were a lot of <br />leftovers. With this in mind, the city council <br />decided to forego a separate event at <br />Heritage Hall. Please think about getting out <br />and meeting your neighbors on August 6. <br /> <br /> <br />
