The City's response to the <br /> Union's requests was presented at this meeting. General agreement was reached <br /> on a few items and a number of items require additional discussions. A follow-up <br /> Union/City meeting is scheduled for December 29, 2010. <br /> 2.) The Ramsey County Parks Department has inquired if the City is interested in <br /> participating in the aerial deer survey. Attached is some information from John _ <br /> Moriarty, Ramsey County Parks, on this topic. According to John, 2009 is the <br /> first year that Arden Hills participated in the survey. While the survey is a <br /> "snapshot in time', we should still be part of this survey for a few years to see if <br /> there are any trends that we need to watch.. <br /> 3.) To date,the City has received two applications for the Council vacancy. They are <br /> from David Radziej and Nicholas Tamble.
