Gem Lake City Council Meeting <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br />Sewer Repairs: Last year Scheuneman Road sewer was relined and this year Gem <br />Lake wants to reline Hoffman Road. Councilmember Lindner feels it makes sense to go <br />forward with this to have the road last 10 more years. Justin from SEH explained what <br />needs to be done. The road will not have to be dug up unless there is a failure or <br />collapsed sewer line. <br />Public Hearing opened at 7:33 p.m. <br />Sheila Waldoch owns the building on the corner of Hoffman Road and wants to know <br />what that means to the landowner. Mayor Uzpen explained the sewer fund would cover <br />it. The cost will be around $95,000 to $100,000 to repair this. <br />John from the Country Lounge wanted to know how far down the line will be fixed. <br />Justin explained that it would go to the City limit. <br />Public Hearing closed at 7:36 p.m. <br />Hoffman Road Repairs: Councilmember Lindner looked at the map and it seemed <br />that a lot of the road has been patched and the road is in rough shape. Councilmember <br />Bosak agreed the road is in rough shape and needs repair. <br />Public Hearing opened at 7:38 p.m. <br />Mayor Uzpen stated what the City proposes to do is put a new curb and repave the <br />road. Will take it down to the base and repave. <br />John wanted to know who owns the private drive. Mayor Uzpen wanted to know whom <br />the property taxes are paid to and that will be who owns the road. Justin will make <br />some calls to see who owns the road. <br />There was discussion regarding adding water and the road would have to be dug up for <br />that which would increase the expense of the project. Mayor Uzpen explained <br />considering water is a long ways out. <br />John does not want the road to be fixed as the City will go by frontage and he owns <br />most of that. <br />SEH will look at the road and determine the assessment, which they will present at the <br />Public Hearing at the July City Council meeting. The timeline for this project is towards <br />the end of the summer. <br />Public Hearing closed at 8:14 p.m. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />Look for us on the World Wide Web at gemlakemn.org <br />
