A portion of all sewer charges that Gem Lake <br />residents pay go into a restricted fund to be used for <br />future repairs. At the July city council meeting, the <br />council gave Gese the go ahead to obtain bids for <br />the repairs. <br /> <br />Due to the short time frame allowed for the repairs to <br />be done, bids came in higher than expected. With <br />this information in mind, the council has elected to <br />postpone the start of the project until 2014. With an <br />entire construction season to complete the work, it is <br />thought that bidders would be able to fit the project in <br />between other larger jobs, thus hopefully lowering <br />the price tag. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />County <br />Commissioner to <br />Attend September <br />Meeting <br /> <br />Ramsey County Commissioner Blake <br />Huffman will be attending the September <br />Gem Lake City Council Meeting on <br />September 10. <br /> <br />Residents are invited to attend and take <br />advantage of the opportunity to meet Mr. <br />Huffman, who was elected to the <br />Commission in 2012. <br /> <br />Traffic volumes and speed, especially on <br />Goose Lake Road will be one of the <br />subjects discussed, as well as other <br />county/city related matters. <br /> <br />
