ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL – NOVEMBER 28, 2016 9 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes understood that Arden Hills’ residents wanted money going into the <br />City’s park funds and trails based on the feedback brought to the City. While the amount may be <br />minor, she wanted to see the City’s PIR fund replenished. She supported the transfer of the full <br />amount. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung supported $40,000 being used to buy down the levy and believed <br />$525,000 would be an adequate amount to improve trails and parks in 2017. He believed this <br />would be a responsible action for the City Council to take on behalf of the taxpayers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden understood the City has been using reserves to buy down the levy in <br />recent years. She stated this item had been discussed at a recent worksession and she wanted to <br />see the item move forward. <br /> <br /> The amendment failed 2-3 (Holden, Holmes and Wicklund opposed). <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to approve a budget adjustment for 2016 for a transfer from the <br />General Fund to the PIR Fund in the amount of $565,121. The motion <br />carried 4-1 (McClung opposed). <br /> <br />10. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />ADJOURN <br /> <br />MOTION: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to <br />adjourn. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />Mayor Grant adjourned the Regular City Council Meeting at 8:02 p.m. <br /> <br />__________________________ __________________________ <br />Julie Hanson David Grant <br />City Clerk Mayor <br />
