ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JUNE 20, 2016 13 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes reported she had the City’s GreenStep City award from the LMC <br />conference and would present this at the next Council meeting. <br /> <br />K. Communication Committee Fund Request <br /> <br />Councilmember Wicklund stated the Communications Committee would like to update the <br />newsletter that would move away from using clipart in order to create a newer and fresher look. <br />He requested the Council consider approving an $800 to $1,000 expense which would allow a <br />graphic designer to create a new version of the City’s newsletter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden believed this was a good use of funds. She wanted to see the City move <br />away from paper. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wicklund understood the redesigned newsletter would have to be online <br />compatible. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes agreed the newsletter should not be mailed out any longer, but rather <br />should be available digitally. <br /> <br />L. Ramsey County League of Local Government Article Update <br /> <br />Councilmember Wicklund stated if the City wanted to submit an article for the Ramsey County <br />League of Local Government newsletter the deadline was July 1st. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes was in favor of an article being completed on TCAAP. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden explained an article was completed for TCAAP and believed there was <br />no new information available for their next newsletter. <br /> <br />2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated Clearway has claimed they could save cities on postage. He noted a number <br />of other cities were utilizing Clearway for mailing services. He suggested staff look into this <br />further. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant understood a number of trees were treated in 2014 for Emerald Ash Borer. He <br />asked if this was still an issue and if these trees needed to be treated again. He also requested an <br />update on the lighting on County Road E. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated his understanding was that the Council wanted <br />two lights on the south side of the trail to light the sidewalk. He indicated he read through the <br />minutes from the meetings and did not find any other indicators that more lighting was required <br />than for the trail. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the lighting along County Road E. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant believed the current lighting along this roadway was insufficient for traffic at night.
