ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – AUGUST 31, 2015 2 <br /> <br />Mayor Grant encouraged Mr. Wenzel to speak with Public Works Director Maurer. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer reported that he has visited with Mr. Wenzel and noted that the <br />final lift would not be put in place until the bituminous area was cut out and properly repaired. He <br />indicated that he was aware of Mr. Wenzel’s other concerns and would be more than willing to <br />meet with him again to address these matters. <br /> <br />Mr. Wenzel expressed extreme frustration that the City has not addressed his concerns to-date <br />and how the contractors have destroyed his yard. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant commented that the Council would not be able to resolve the issues tonight, but <br />noted that staff would address Mr. Wenzel’s concerns in the near future. <br /> <br />3. STAFF COMMENTS <br /> <br />A.
