ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 17, 2013 4 <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br /> recommended it be moved to 2016, with the Council reevaluating the <br />parks needs in 2015. This would assist with leveling expenditures for 2014. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes <br /> wanted to see the fence and parking lot improved before that time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> was willing to move the item out a year or two to allow the Council <br />time to evaluate expenditures. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> agreed. <br /> <br />Council consensus is to move Freeway Park to 2015. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding the Perry Park #4 field renovations. It was noted that the <br />Association was willing to pay $10,000 of the expense. <br /> <br />The Council supported the hard court reconstruction at Floral Park in 2018. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> reviewed the bridge replacement schedule as proposed by <br />MnDOT and encouraged the Council to set aside funds for pedestrian facilities. He commented <br />that and the City <br />would be responsible for the additional expense to have the second side completed. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> recommended that the amounts be lowered slightly and that this item be spread out <br />over three years, instead of two years within the CIP. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br />questioned if the City needed pedestrian facilities on both sides of <br />every bridge. He did not feel this was necessary for each bridge. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes <br /> wanted to see two sides completed on the County Road F bridge given <br />the level of pedestrian traffic in this area. <br /> <br />City Administrator Klaers <br />noted that the Council would be able to evaluate each bridge further <br />before completion by MnDOT. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> stated that the City had approximately $1.5 million in MSA <br />funds at this time and the City receives $200,000 annually for MSA streets. He noted that West <br />Round Lake Road would cost the City approximately $2.6 million to complete. He indicated that <br />the City also had $1.4 million in TIF that could be used to assist with the expense of the project. <br /> <br />City Administrator Klaers <br /> recommended that the Council seek additional information on the <br />Round Lake Road project in order for it to move forward in 2014. Otherwise, the TIF plan would <br />need to be amended. He commented that the project could be funded through a combination of <br />TIF, Utility Enterprise Funds, and MSA funds. Staff would need direction from the Council on <br />how to proceed. <br /> <br /> <br />
