ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—APRIL 25, 2016 2 <br /> Mayor Grant indicated that he would like more information from the Finance Department on the <br /> financing of TCAAP. <br /> Interim City Administrator/Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson said <br /> this was related to the TCAAP goals and normal workload for the Finance Department but could <br /> add it to the goals list. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher commented on the specific goals for TCAAP. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned what the City's plans were for the old City Hall property. <br /> Interim City Administrator/Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson stated <br /> that if this was one of the Council's priorities, each department could go back and evaluate this <br /> property. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding the old City Hall property. <br /> Councilmember Holden wanted to see a gateway sign at Lexington Avenue and County Road <br /> 96. <br /> Mayor Grant commented that this was not in the 2016 budget but that the priority should be <br /> noted by staff. He recommended that the parks maintenance policy be further reviewed and <br /> updated by staff. <br /> B. City Population Signs on 35W <br /> Mayor Grant discussed the location of the City's population signs throughout the community. <br /> He recommended population signs be placed on southbound 35W. <br /> Councilmember Wicklund agreed that signage on Lexington Avenue and County Road 96 <br /> should be considered. He was interested in the Council further discussing identification and <br /> gateway signage throughout the City. <br /> Interim City Administrator/Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson stated <br /> that she could provide Councilmember Wicklund with information on the Council's gateway sign <br /> plans. <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson described further the location of the signs and noted <br /> that MnDOT determines the location of population signs. <br /> Mayor Grant believed that the sign on Cleveland Avenue should be removed and a sign should <br /> be posted on 35W. It was his opinion that Arden Hills needed further visibility given the <br /> upcoming development that would occur on TCAAP. <br /> Councilmember McClung suggested that the Mayor on behalf of the entire Council send a letter <br /> to MnDOT regarding this sign. He recommended that the JDA, the County Representative and <br /> local Senator be copied on the letter. <br />
