ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br /> OCTOBER 11, 2005 5 <br /> Mayor Aplikowski stated Council could take a look at his request for a monument sign. She <br /> stated to the best of her knowledge, they did not have an ordinance for flag poles, so she did not <br /> believe there would be any problem with him putting in a flag pole. Ms. Wolfe stated a staff <br /> member would need to look at any lighting of the flag pole and she requested Mr. Flagherty <br /> contact staff regarding this. <br /> 5. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> None. <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. Authorize Contract with S&S Tree Service for the Removal of Tree Debris from the <br /> September 21St Storm <br /> Mr. Moore stated as of October 5, 2005 the City has incurred a total cleanup cost of$91,902.50 <br /> plus tax. This cost is only related to services provided by S & S Tree Service. He indicated it is <br /> estimated that 50% of the debris has been removed. Based on incurred costs, it can be estimated <br /> that there will be a need for an additional $90,000.00 plus tax to complete the removal of the <br /> remaining debris in the City. In addition, the City will have to share in the costs with the cities of <br /> New Brighton and Mounds View for the tub grinder at the New Brighton drop-off site. At this <br /> time that cost is unknown. Staff is conservatively estimating the cost to be in excess of$200,000. <br /> Staff will continue to provide the City Council with up-to-date financial information as it becomes <br /> available. <br /> He indicated the City's 2005 budget does not have adequate resources to fund the cleanup <br /> program. The source of funding for this program would have to be the General Fund reserves. At <br /> the beginning of this year the General Fund reserves had a fund balance of$1.3 million dollars. <br /> One of the purposes of having a fund balance is to address unplanned contingencies. The <br /> September 21, 2005 storm was an unplanned event and the use of General Fund reserves would be <br /> considered appropriate for the cleanup program. <br /> He recommended the City Council authorize staff to continue with the storm debris cleanup <br /> program and to approve spending up to $200,000.00 with S & S Tree Service for the completion <br /> of the cleanup program. <br /> Councilmember Grant asked if they had any idea how much a grinder would cost on an hourly <br /> basis. Mr. Moore responded at this time staff has no information with respect to the cost per <br /> hour for the unit, nor how long it would take, but they were trying to get that information and as <br /> soon as they got it, they would inform Council. <br /> Councilmember Grant noted the City of Shoreview might be able to provide some guidance <br /> considering they had gone through a similar situation in 1999. <br />
