ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – OCTOBER 24, 2016 6 <br /> <br />2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked what was meant by “when children are present” and how this was <br />interpreted by the Sheriff’s Department. She reviewed the information provided by staff and <br />requested further information on how this was being enforced by the deputies. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding this school zone regulation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes believed that this law was only enforced when school was in session. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden was aware of a person that was pulled over on a Saturday. For this <br />reason, she wanted further information on how Ramsey County was enforcing this issue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes requested further information regarding the fire hydrant situation. <br /> <br />Acting City Engineer Polka described the situation at Boston Scientific noting an old line had <br />failing valves. She reported staff was more comfortable providing a contractor for the work <br />versus allowing Boston Scientific to complete this work. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if the work would be billed back to Boston Scientific. <br /> <br />Acting City Engineer Polka stated this has been discussed by staff and would be brought to the <br />City Council on October 31, 2016. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes understood the City Administrator candidate withdrew. She questioned <br />what the City’s plan was at this time. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant explained the Personnel Committee would be meeting to address this concern on <br />Thursday, November 3, 2016. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes stated she would be providing the Personnel Committee with her input <br />regarding this situation. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant commented on the County Road E2 sidewalk and requested a trail connection be <br />discussed at a future worksession meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes recommended this not be discussed until staff had numbers. <br /> <br />Interim City Administrator and Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson <br />suggested this be addressed at a November worksession meeting in conjunction with the CIP. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden requested the new staff members attend an upcoming work session in <br />order to be introduced to the entire Council. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
