ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—JUNE 20, 2016 13 <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 /> K. Communication Committee Fund Request <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 /> Councilmember Holden believed this was a good use of funds. She wanted to see the City move <br /> away from paper. <br /> Councilmember Wicklund understood the redesigned newsletter would have to be online <br /> compatible. <br /> Councilmember Holmes agreed the newsletter should not be mailed out any longer, but rather <br /> should be available digitally. <br /> L. Ramsey County League of Local Government Article Update <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 /> Councilmember Holmes was in favor of an article being completed on TCAAP. <br /> Councilmember Holden explained an article was completed for TCAAP and believed there was <br /> no new information available for their next newsletter. <br /> 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES <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 /> 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 /> 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 /> Further discussion ensued regarding the lighting along County Road E. <br /> Mayor Grant believed the current lighting along this roadway was insufficient for traffic at night. <br />
