At the May <br />24, 1999, City Council meeting, direction was given to ask the School Board <br />for "a number" that they felt was a reasonable and fair assessment for School <br />Street. Attached is a response from Superintendent David Flannery <br />regarding the City Council request. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The city has a concern about deviating from its past motion on the <br />assessment amount and approach for this project and it is recommended that <br />no change take place with the $139,170 assessment that was levied against <br />the School District on May 10, 1999, for the School Street improvement <br />project. <br /> <br />The School District has plans for an improvement to its existing parking lot <br />and an expansion of its parking lot, which includes the removal of a baseball <br />field. The 1999 project is the resurfacing (and fencing?) of the existing lot <br />and a future phase in the next year or so is the expansion of the parking lot, <br />including the removal of the baseball field. The school has implied that it <br />would like a contribution from the city for this project, but no formal request <br />has been received. The city has an easement over this parking lot for access <br />and parking needs associated with the ice arena (see attachment). It is <br />suggested that the City Council contribute $39,170 to the parking lot <br />resurfacing and expansion project based on the usage associated with the ice <br />arena. The city's contribution would be from its street reserve. This city <br />contribution would be contingent upon the School District dropping its <br />assessment appeal. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330.
