State Aids Mayor Gamec said the governor told him the city is being cut, but after the cut, the city is still coming out with an increase in State Aid Revenue from last year's.

There is one Performance Bond for both plats. The Alpaca Estates 2nd Addition Plat is exclusive of Outlot A, which was platted to maintain a. 5-acre density which the Metro Council said was required. The platting is for 79 acres and the city needs an escrow for total improvement for $157,500. The bond or escrow requirement is 150 percent of the estimated cost for a total of $236,250. The city will take a mortgage deed on the land in lieu of the bond or letter of credit.
