 Well, after venting frustrations, the city of Bemidji made some decisions at last night's work session that could have an impact on the new Jean Dillon Elementary School that is yet to be built. Josh Peterson has more. After extensive discussion, members of the Bemidji City Council agreed that new city water and sewer lines should only be extended from Bemidji High School along Division Street to Adams Avenue and not further west to Beside a Road, where the future home of the Jean Dillon Elementary School will be located, requiring the school to place a service line to connect to city water services through a cost-sharing measure. Last night's meeting was an opportunity for the city council to provide some direction, some clarity to staff. The other issue the city council took up was the question of zoning and annexation. The Bemidji school district is expected to start the bidding process for the school's construction on December 8th, with tying being of the essence the fear of anything that could prolong the project raise concerns from school board members. We need to look at how do we progress in an orderly fashion forward. At times during the work session, tensions rose as a result of what some would say was a lack of communication between the school district and the county. We all have to get together now. Where is the county anyway? I had seen them a few months ago and now they're gone. And we are doing our part. We are doing our part and we are trying to work with them, but this isn't my project. The school district did continue to stress reassurance to the city. We're a pretty big consumer. We write big checks to the city on a regular basis for water and sewer services. So when there's an increase in the water and sewer fee, we help pay them. After much discussion, the city council voted unanimously to draft a municipal agreement between the city of Bemidji and the school district. That will include input from the greater Bemidji area joint planning board that would require the school site to be annexed before it is connected to city sewer and water services.

Back in 2014, the Bemidji school district voted to approve a tax increase to build Jean Dillon Elementary School, which is expected to cost $31 million to construct.
