ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION—MAY 21,2001 <br /> and perhaps should consider a two (2) year program, and preferred a "worst first" <br /> scenario. <br /> Councilmember Rem suggested that the City do those areas of the Ingerson <br /> neighborhood that needed it most, and in future projects, also agreed with a <br /> "worst first" plan. She further stated that the City had already invested <br /> engineering resources, but needed to provide more public information prior to a <br /> project. She stated that it was important for the Council to be sold on the project, <br /> and then the public. Councilmember Rem referenced a series of public <br /> information brochures prepared by the City of Golden Valley prior to their road <br /> projects, rather than using in-house information only. She mentioned the need for <br /> flexibility; problems of the public receiving mixed signals from staff and <br /> Councilmembers; and the need to determine our rationale for a public document <br /> (i.e., at the first meeting,this is what we think would be good and what do you as <br /> a resident think). She also stated the need to have accurate property owner <br /> information and to provide the public with more information and a sense of more <br /> cooperation. <br /> Mayor Probst stated that he thought the City's process and fundamental principles <br /> were correct. He stated that he thought the City should establish a standard street <br /> width, but where it made sense for the street width to be less than 32' it was <br /> negotiable. He further stated that where there were no sidewalks and for safety <br /> purposes, wider streets needed to be adhered to. He was in favor of the formula <br /> for corner lot assessments being revised. Mayor Probst stated that it was the City <br /> Council's fiduciary responsibility to maintain an active PMP, as an obligation to <br /> the community at large. He stated that the "worst first" scenario only be <br /> considered by neighborhood or area, due to financial resource constraints. He <br /> agreed with other Councilmembers regarding more public information at the <br /> beginning of the process, but expressed concerns regarding difficulties to be <br /> expected with the next project because of apparent indecision with the past <br /> prof ect. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski commended Mayor Probst on the overall philosophy <br /> expressed, and suggested similar wording is used in informing the public of the <br /> reasons for a PMP. She suggested a PMP checklist, and what is and is not agreed <br /> upon. She stated that the City Council needed to sell their vision and stewardship <br /> responsibilities to and for the City. <br /> After further discussion, it was the consensus of the City Council that they <br /> continue to meet in Worksession immediately prior to regular City Council <br /> meetings. Mayor Probst appointed City Administrator Lynch to serve as <br /> moderator and the exercise be based on two topics. The first session would <br /> discuss "standards" (i.e., agree on curb and gutter usage; base line street width of <br /> 32'; etc.). He stated that once that was accomplished, a subsequent session should <br /> establish a process to be followed(i.e., choosing a project scope; public <br /> information; timetable, etc.), in completing a project. <br />
