ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />AND JOINT WORK SESSION WITH JDA – AUGUST 15, 2016 11 <br /> <br />Mayor Grant agreed it was a poor decision for this sign to be removed. <br /> <br />Interim City Administrator Iverson commented she would speak with the County regarding <br />this matter. <br /> <br />E. Venus Neighborhood <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden was upset that a family in the Venus neighborhood had contacted the <br />Attorney General’s Office because their yards were still unsatisfactory. She recommended the <br />City get a truck full of black dirt, some grass seed and resolve this situation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes stated it was her understanding the City of Arden Hills and its <br />contractor had fulfilled the grass replanting requirements. She was uncertain if the City had to do <br />what Councilmember Holden was suggesting. She understood the Attorney General’s office told <br />the individual there was nothing it could do. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant questioned how many residents were concerned with their yards and the dirt. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden estimated there were at least 14 families with concerns about their <br />yards. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung was of the opinion the City had met the proper planting requirements. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant recommended that the City specify black dirt must be used in the future for all <br />grass plantings in order to avoid this situation in the future. <br /> <br />F. Election Judges <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden understood the City was in need of election judges for the general <br />election this November. She recommended that donuts and Subway sandwiches be provided to <br />election judges as a thank you for their service to the community. <br /> <br />The Council supported this suggestion. <br /> <br />G. State Fair Parking <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated he and Councilmember Holden went door to door to speak with residents <br />regarding State Fair parking concerns. He noted he received one phone call regarding this issue as <br />well. He requested the dead end block be posted no parking on both sides of the street. <br /> <br />H. County Road E Signs <br /> <br />Mayor Grant discussed a break away sign that has been hit a number of times along County <br />Road E. He requested the curb be painted in order to avoid this concern. <br /> <br />
