Landscaping will also happen after this construction <br /> project is complete. <br /> City Administrator Klaers stated that in terms of communication, Community Development <br /> Director Hutmacher has put together a newsletter that will be distributed to the Round Lake <br /> businesses. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned what is going to be done to notify residents of the project. <br /> Public Works Director Maurer stated that a mailing will be done by either MnDOT or Ramsey <br /> County to residents in the City and bordering areas. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding the impact of the US 10/Hwy 96 construction project. <br /> Mayor Grant thanked Beth Engum for attending the meeting and for providing information <br /> regarding the construction project. <br /> B. Discussion Regarding Park Events <br /> Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated that this is a follow-up discussion regarding <br /> possible park events that might be chosen in lieu of not having the Celebrating Arden Hills event <br /> in 2013. <br /> Parks and Recreation Manager Olson indicated that staff recommends hosting an event to <br /> celebrate the reopening of Valentine Park. She noted that if additional events are desired, staff <br /> recommends moving forward on them slowly in order to gauge their success. <br /> Councilmember McClung stated that because of the positive impact to the community at <br /> minimal cost, he is in favor of option two, which is a public works/public safety open house. <br /> Councilmember Holden noted that the location may be an issue. <br /> Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated that one of the three larger parks work best <br /> because the parking situation is better. <br />
