ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—OCTOBER 10, 2011 5 <br /> Public Works Director Maurer responded that it is safe to assume that having sediment- <br /> catching devices in the catch basins to the north impeded capacity of the catch basins to take in <br /> storm water. <br /> Councilmember Tamble asked what Mr. Maurer believes to be the best option presented by <br /> Bolton and Menk. <br /> Public Works Director Maurer stated they can go back to run the model again regarding the <br /> cost benefit of taking something to the north as a fifth option. The real question actually lies with <br /> the Townhome Associations since the costs will be assessed to them. He stated this should be <br /> presented to the Boards of the Associations and they should then go to the residents to see how <br /> they want to proceed. <br /> Councilmember Holden commented that before we do the modeling to the north, she would like <br /> to check with the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br /> Public Works Director Maurer stated that he would talk with Rice Creek Watershed District <br /> and let them know what happened and what the City is trying to accomplish. <br /> Councilmember Tamble commented that it will take more City funds to continue exploring this <br /> issue and asked if we have enough information now to present to the Townhome Associations. <br /> . Public Works Director Maurer stated that most of the work has been done so to look at an <br /> option to the north will not be a significant cost. <br /> Mr. Thomas stated that they could simply do modeling to the north to determine what the benefit <br /> would be. <br /> Councilmember Holden pointed out that the City wants to sell the old city hall site to the north <br /> of this development so we should consider how changing the drainage on this property would <br /> impact that site. <br /> Public Works Director Maurer stated that he will attend an upcoming Southern Townhome <br /> Association Board meeting to discuss the Bolton and Menk findings. <br /> B.
