ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — MARCH 20, 2017 6 Interim City Planner Zweber said they are expected to have similar penalties as ten years ago, which would mean no grant funding from the Met Council until the Plan is submitted and there are no changes allowed to the current Plan until the new Plan is submitted. Councilmember Holmes suggested making a revision to the Vision and Chapter Goals on Housing. She suggested saying current and future members of the community. D. HIGHWAY 10 AND COUNTY ROAD 96 INTERSECTION Public Works Director/City Engineer Sue Polka stated the investigation on the accident that occurred at the intersection in December has been completed, but the report is still pending. The County is planning to update all the signals along Hwy 96 with the flashing yellow arrows in 2018. After some discussion, Public Works Director/City Engineer Sue Polka said she would request copies of studies that should be done with any revisions to the traffic signals. Mayor Grant asked if we could request a No Freeway Access sign. Councilmember McClung asked if Hamline Ave traffic issues could be added to a future work session. It was decided to invite the County Commissioner and the County Traffic Engineer to the meeting as well. E. DUMP TRUCK PURCHASE Mayor Grant felt we got a very good deal in purchasing the current truck and wondered if we should trade it in or not, but there is an issue with where we would park it. Public Works Superintendent Jeff Frid said he spoke with the lead mechanic for the County and there are maintenance issues with the current truck. The mechanic gave an educated guess that the transmission would be needing repair and the motor mounts are currently 3/4 gone and will need to be replaced. Also, Sterling is out of business, so they are having to get parts from a junk yard. City Administrator Joynes noted that this is a replacement for an existing truck because of the ongoing maintenance issues. Although we need to plan for TCAAP, this truck is needed now to maintain what we are currently doing. Mayor Grant said the purchase should be added to the next Council agenda. 2. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS Councilmember Holden asked if Sue Polka could ask the County if a roundabout is being planned for County Rd D, New Brighton Rd and Fairview. Councilmember Scott said he is looking forward to the ribbon cutting and grand opening for Nutmeg Brewing Company on March 29.
