• <br />COUNCIL MINUTES July 8,1996 <br />Council Member Kuether stated that Mr. Schmidt should have checked sewer and water user fees <br />with the City of Lino Lakes to determine the current fees before finalizing his project. Mr. <br />Schmidt stated that Senior Housing is not an easy project to rent. He stated that he was in a real <br />bind and needs help from the City for one (1) year. <br />Council Member Lyden asked about a memo he received. Mr. Schmidt indicated the memo is <br />his recommendation to Council. <br />Council Member Kuether stated the City has already put over $900,000 into the project. Now <br />Mr. Schmidt is asking for more money from the citizens of Lino Lakes. She indicated the City <br />may not be able to help because of regulations outlined in the City Charter. <br />Mr. Hawkins stated that the SAC is less on apartments. If less usage can be shown, there could <br />be a reduction in the flat fee. Mr. Schmidt stated that he received a $150.00 bill before the water <br />was turned on. Mr. Hawkins stated that sewer and water rates are set up to be self-sufficient and <br />not require tax payer support. An option is to increase the seniors rent. <br />Mayor Landers noted that this is open mike. Council cannot take action, only receive input. <br />Mr. Schumacher stated that he has been working with Mr. Schmidt on this issue for a number of <br />weeks. The issue was discussed at a Council work session and Council was given the <br />opportunity to think about the issue. He stated that he asked Mr. Schmidt to come before <br />Council this evening to discuss his concerns. <br />Mr. Schmidt stated that he is trying to get the loan closed. He needs a statement from the City <br />saying the sewer and water rates will be $8,000.00 to $9,000.00. <br />Council Member Bergeson stated Mr. Schmidt needs to reduce expenses or increase his revenue. <br />He asked for what period the bill should be at $8,000.00 to $9,000.00. He suggested maybe there <br />was an error in another line item. Mr. Schmidt stated he has examined and picked apart the bill. <br />Council Member Kuether suggested the rent be raised on the remaining six (6) units. Mr. <br />Schmidt stated that was not a good idea as rent fees are compared quite often. <br />Council Member Bergeson stated that it is strange that on a $2 million project there is not a <br />contingency for this type of issue. <br />Mayor Landers suggested the issue be brought to the next work session. Mr. Schmidt thanked the <br />Council for listening to his concerns. <br />Council Member Neal asked if watering the lawn was included in the bill. Mr. Schmidt stated <br />that a well for underground sprinklers had been suggested. <br />Mr. Schmidt stated that 75% of the complex is occupied. There are no users in 25% of the <br />complex. He asked for recognition of this in calculating the user fees. <br />
