LAKE ASSESSMENT ON AGENDA
City Council will consider renewing the special assessment for lake maintenance of Orchard Lake at its meeting Monday April 17.
The process begins with a public hearing, to be followed by final action in May.
The assessment is paid by all lakefront property owners on Orchard Lake. The new assessment, similar to the one in effect for a number of years, would be $140 a year for owners of direct lakefront lots, $96 for "backlot" owners and $1 per front foot for instititutional properties such as Orchard Lake Country Club.
This would raise $31,000 per year for the five years of the assessment. The largest amount, about $25,000, would pay for weed removal each year. About $5,000 would pay for a part-time police officer on busy days at the state launch site, with the city sharing in that cost.
A seperate assessment for the same group of owners pays for the lake level control facility that allows water to be pumped from Cass Lake, but this does not require renewal.
