ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MARCH 11, 2013 6 10. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember McClung reminded everyone that Ramsey County's Friends of the Parks is offering presales of good, quality trees. He indicated that people may purchase trees for their own yards or donate trees to the City. He stated that more information is available via brochures at City Hall or by visiting their website at www.FriendsoftheParks.org. He noted that the tree sale ends on Friday, April 19. Councilmember Werner stated that there are still openings on the Economic Development Commission (EDC), which meets once per month in the morning on the first Wednesday of every month. Please contact City Hall if interested. Councilmember Holden stated that she was looking at Claims and Payroll and saw the payment to the City of Shoreview for the community clean-up day event. She inquired if the terms of the clean-up day were going to be changing as has been discussed at previous meetings. City Administrator Klaers explained that although the City of Shoreview proposed some changes for the next clean-up event, they have decided not to make changes and the event will proceed as it has in the past. Councilmember Holmes thanked the Public Works Department for their snow removal efforts after all the snow event we have had recently. Councilmember Holmes inquired about AHATS and whether there will be another meeting to discuss potential shared use of the amenities in the Training and Community building that will be constructed near TCAAP as well as future ball fields around the site. City Administrator Klaers stated that the City opted out of contributing money towards the construction of the building; therefore, passing up on adding items inside the building.
