So that would would result in an assessment of $4,600 per unit. Uh which is just so the council's aware, I think it's our our highest uh assessment amount for Lake to date.

Yes.

So we have good news to share tonight. Uh the original assessment amount was 3660.80. Uh and based on the actual construction cost, uh it's our recommendation that those assessment amounts can be reduced to 2,900 per property.

Uh the total estimated project costs with everything included uh would be 448,000. Uh so again, I wanted to take some time to go through this because it's a substantial difference from what was presented to us from the residents, the 448 versus the roughly 175.

I would have concerns with an amount assessment of 28,000 that we would not be able possibly not be able to be that again we're not sure what the I don't know all the different values of homes out there whether something commercial or all residential all of that plays a factor but it being residential I would have concerns about meeting that benefit test.

Typically a court if two people did challenge us in court. The court has a no county district court judge has the policy. He could combine them into one case or keep them separate. And so there is but either way there's going to be court costs and attorney's fees, engineering cost and appraisal costs and and staff time involved in any loss.

Uh otherwise it would just be completing a portion of the work out of a set of plans and specs which uh I've never bid out of just a portion of the work. Uh unless there's like an alternate bid or something, but I I in my in my mind that's what I think or that's how I'm seeing this going based on council discussion.

They are projecting that within the next 5 years they will surpass Elk River as the largest community in our school district area. They are projecting their ultimate uh capacity growout is going to be about 40,000 residents that they'll be planning for that city.

Meaning that in that future 10 year out mark when we're getting closer to those benchmark numbers that we're expecting, we can add on just the classroom additions at that time without having to do additions to utilities, parking lots, cafeteria, all that at the same time.

So on this sheet that you guys have and on our website even if you go to the front of it it talks about where you can learn on there when we do this there's a like blanket if I'm 200,000 300,000 800 900 it'll tell you what that monthly will be and the yearly and also if you really want to dive into the lease you can put in your tax identification number and it'll tell you what your tax increase is proposed to be.

More importantly, the private alternative creates a long-term concern for um, involving liability, property ownership, emergency access, maintenance responsibilities, insurance, future property transfers, and the expenditure of public funds on private property. These issues would continue throughout the city's use of the site.

Although the municipal system requires a larger investment, it provides a permanent city ownership and control, approximately 650 gallons minute of design pumping capacity, reduced liability exposure, and a stronger foundation for seeking available ISO public protection class [clears throat] for water supply credit.

U next question is you know one of the things in regards to the private well that's been some of the things that have been included is of course the access and that's the bulk of the cost. some of the costs to to utilize that wealth. Um, previously when you'd come to the council, the the estimate was roughly $375,000. Have there been things that have been backed out of that 375 that would still need to take place um that aren't included in that almost $290,000?

I do nevertheless feel like it's probably time to opt out of the pilot because my understanding from the sheriff is that each city is able to opt out of the pilot. The reason for it is just news story after news story, privacy concerns. data leaks, um, you know, security, uh, breaches.

If we are going to track someone's historical location using this system, we have to get a search warrant. It's required by state law. There are instances which the council member referenced where warrants are not required and that's for u a specific statute under exit circumstances where if it's an emergency like uh a child was just abducted on Ball Street, we can search for that vehicle or plate immediately.

I don't know if you all saw the um the sexual assault that occurred in Ramsay and Rapids. It was a stranger abduction that occurred. Um the first victim was able to escape by fighting back. The second victim, same suspect, was not able to escape. Ultimately, she was subjected to a violent sexual assault. And in that case, the flack cameras in the area, which we searched with a search warrant, provided a key link to the suspect vehicle, not the suspect, but the vehicle he was driving and ultimately led to him being arrested.
