ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 31, 2016 7 <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated borings have not been completed. He indicated <br /> staff could complete borings, but this may not provide staff with enough information either. He <br /> supported the City moving forward with a Public Work overlay given the low cost for the <br /> extension of the pavement live. <br /> Councilmember Holmes questioned if the integrity of the City's new streets would be <br /> jeopardized if they were not sealcoated. <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson provided further comment on the concerns the City <br /> had with sealcoating. He indicated the City was working to find a new tool other than sealcoating. <br /> He commented the City does still complete crack sealing. <br /> Councilmember McClung appreciated Acting Public Works Director Anderson's thorough staff <br /> report. He supported the Public Works department overlay. <br /> Mayor Grant believed the City had an opportunity to gain 40% to 50% in cost savings for this <br /> overlay project. For this reason, he believed the proposed overlay project made sense. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br /> motion to approve the Public Works Street Maintenance for Thom Drive. <br /> The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> 9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> None. <br /> 10.

She asked if these trees were the City or County's responsibility. <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson indicated these trees were the City's responsibility. <br /> Mayor Grant agreed the trees were along County Road 96 were the City's responsibility. <br /> Councilmember Holden requested this matter be further discussed by the Council at an <br /> upcoming worksession meeting.
