<br />Construction continues; The Tavern Grill coming soon
<br />City Finances: Reporting also on the
<br />City’s highly-rated, award-winning
<br />financial management practices, Council-
<br />member McClung discussed the allocation
<br />of resident property taxes and provided
<br />a preliminary look at the 2016 budget,
<br />which will be finalized at the December
<br />14, 2015, City Council meeting. A major-
<br />ity of 2016 budget increases are coming
<br />from Public Safety contracts.
<br />Councilmember McClung explained that
<br />the City’s Public Safety expenses have,
<br />in part, funded the Lake Johanna Fire
<br />Department’s new Duty Crew staffing.
<br />Lake Johanna Fire Department Chief Tim
<br />Boehlke was in attendance and reported a
<br />dramatic decrease in response times as a
<br />result of Duty Crew staffing. He also re-
<br />sponded to questions regarding the likely
<br />closure of Arden Hills Fire Station 110 on
<br />New Brighton Road.
<br />Arden Hills Foundation: Arden Hills
<br />Foundation Board Member Arlene Mitch-
<br />ell provided an overview of the Founda-
<br />tion’s work over the past year. She em-
<br />phasized that donations are tax-deductible
<br />when received through the Foundation, a
<br />501(c)(3) nonprofit. The Foundation also
<br />is seeking new board members.
<br />Resident Resources: In closing, Mayor
<br />Grant made note of two resources, both
<br />available on the City’s website, that might
<br />be of interest to City residents:
<br />• Report a Concern – Mayor Grant en-
<br />couraged residents to use this online
<br />form to contact City Hall about any
<br />concern.
<br />• City Video Tour – Created by the
<br />Economic Development Commission
<br />and CTV North Suburbs, the City
<br />Video Tour is a new marketing tool
<br />available for the City to use to attract
<br />businesses and residents.
<br />starting BUILD came from the daughter
<br />of a Bethel University board member who
<br />had completed a similar program in Illinois
<br />but found it to be missing a faith-based
<br />component.
<br />Students who successfully complete 40-50
<br />credits in the BUILD course of study will
<br />earn an applied skills certificate with an
<br />emphasis in health or human services,
<br />business, or education. They will have the
<br />skills necessary to live independently and
<br />be meaningfully employed. In addition to
<br />core course topics and electives, students
<br />are able to participate in Bible and theol-
<br />ogy classes as well as physical education.
<br />Volunteer social mentors, as well as paid
<br />housing and job mentors, provide an im-
<br />portant support component.
<br />Each semester BUILD students will be in-
<br />volved in internships for six to 12 hours per
<br />week, on campus the first year, off campus
<br />near Bethel the second. These provide the
<br />opportunity to gain and practice work skills
<br />in a monitored situation. BUILD director
<br />Dawn Allen says she is looking for oppor-
<br />tunities in the community to place students
<br />in areas such as office support; data entry;
<br />work with children, such as schools, day
<br />care, or the YMCA; and work with ani-
<br />mals. She can be reached at 651-635-8799
<br />or build-program@bethel.edu.
<br />The program is off to a very good start. In
<br />addition to their classes and jobs, students
<br />are joining clubs and other activities. After
<br />one month, director Allen finds it “exciting
<br />to see students already making progress
<br />toward working more independently.”
<br />
<br />The intersection at Lexington Avenue
<br />and County Road E has been a hub of
<br />activity this summer with much-needed
<br />road construction and other projects in the
<br />area. But, things aren’t about to quiet down
<br />yet; a new all-American comfort food res-
<br />taurant is coming soon to Arden Hills.
<br />
<br />The Tavern Grill, with locations in Blaine,
<br />Edina, and Woodbury, will be constructed
<br />on the approximately one-acre site
<br />between the Walgreens (Lexington and
<br />County Road E) and the Lexington Avenue
<br />entrance to Arden Plaza.
<br />
<br />The plans for the grill, which will be devel-
<br />oped by Hemisphere Restaurant Partners,
<br />have been finalized and were approved
<br />by the City Council on August 31. Con-
<br />struction is planned to start in the spring
<br />of 2016, and the restaurant is expected to
<br />open in the late summer or fall of 2016, ac-
<br />cording to Matthew Bachler, the Associate
<br />Planner for the City.
<br />
<br />Patrons will be able to enjoy their food
<br />inside The Tavern Grill’s cozy, relaxed at-
<br />mosphere or outside on the attached 3,050
<br />square-foot patio area for seasonal seating.
<br />
<br />ALL DIMENSIONS AND CONDITIONS MUST BE CHECKED AND VERIFIEDON SITE BY THE CONTRACTOR AND SUB-CONTRACTORS. THE PROJECTMANAGER SHALL BE NOTIFIED IN WRITING OF ANY DISCREPANCIESPRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH THE WORK.
