ARDEN HILLS PARKS. TRAILS & RECREATION COMMITTEE 5 <br /> . Mr. Moore indicated that there would be individual mailings to residents in that area as <br /> defined in relationship to the park survey that divided the City into four different <br /> sections. <br /> Council Liaison Larson suggested doing one mailing instead of four and specify each <br /> quadrant and the meeting dates. <br /> Council Liaison Larson indicated it would be nice to treat the mailing as an invitation <br /> from the Committee to attend the meeting and indicated he felt all Committee Members <br /> should sign the mailing. <br /> COUNCIL LIAISON REPORT <br /> Council Liaison Larson reported that the City had thought that the TCAAP process would <br /> proceed more quickly than it has. He then noted a meeting has been set up to talk about <br /> legislation in Congress to do something similar to what was done for the City Hall <br /> property to speed up the process of getting the Army to turn over the land to the City. <br /> Council Liaison Larson reported that Council went out to the new Maple Grove City Hall <br /> and noted that the design was unique as it has been designed with a main street type of <br /> feel with parking in the back. <br /> • Council Liaison Larson reported that Council heard from a developer interested in putting <br /> in a regional high-end outlet mall with restaurants and a theatre. He then noted the City <br /> needed to determine if it wanted a regional shopping center or something more local. <br /> Council Liaison Larson noted the north water tower will be painted and the new logo <br /> placed on it. <br /> Council Liaison Larson noted the City would be seal coating in the northwest quadrant of <br /> the City this summer. <br /> Council Liaison Larson indicated that Council has decided on no more than a three <br /> percent (3%) increase for budget year 2002. He then noted that a zero percent(0%) <br /> increase budget has been drafted but Council is discussing setting aside money for <br /> construction of the new public works facility. <br /> Council Liaison Larson indicated that Council saw maps for the proposed changes to the <br /> I-35W corridor and expressed concern that Highway 10 be eliminated as a shortcut to get <br /> onto I-35. He then noted, that in reviewing the congested hours for the roadways after <br /> the improvements, the numbers are worse in 2025 than they are now. <br /> Council Liaison Larson noted the City had received the resignation of the City Planner as <br /> she has accepted a position with the State Highway Department. <br /> • <br />
