ARDEN HILLS JOINT COUNCIL WORK SESSION—JANUARY 30, 2012 3 Councilmember Tamble questioned how this project would affect the proposed street maintenance schedule of completing a project every other year. Public Works Director Maurer responded that in the CIP, the Edgewater neighborhood is scheduled for 2013, and the Valentine Park neighborhood in 2015, and the Floral Park neighborhood in 2017. Councilmember Tamble stated if the Old Snelling project isn't done this year, considering the other projects scheduled, it sounds like it would not be done until 2016. Public Works Director Maurer stated that it could be done in 2014 and if it's done with State Aid Funds it could be done at any time. Councilmember Holden questioned how much staff time would be required for the Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue projects. Public Works Director Maurer responded that he doesn't anticipate that a great deal of City staff time will be required. Councilmember Holden commented that there are a lot of neighborhood streets with more traffic than Old Snelling that need attention. She recommended postponing the Old Snelling project.

Public Works Director Maurer stated that the Council had not officially ordered the feasibility study but directed staff to start working on it. He recommended the Council approve a resolution to order the study and then he will present it. But, he also stated, he was concerned that taking action on the feasibility study and then not proceeding with the project could be an issue for residents as the feasibility study is the first step towards assessing for improvements. He offered to present the feasibility study to Council in draft form. Council consensus was to have staff present the feasibility study at an upcoming Council meeting. C.
