Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes October 21, 2014 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Committee Member Trites mentioned that when leaving the compost site, there is a blind <br />spot on the left side because of overgrown brush. He questioned whether this is a <br />concern of the City or Ramsey County. Ms. Grant commented that she believes it is a <br />concern of Ramsey County but that she will check to make sure and then let him know. <br /> <br />Committee Member Trites asked Ms. Stephens what she was actually referring to <br />regarding Karth Lake and the trail needing some work. Ms. Stephens commented that <br />there are paths leading to Karth Lake from Cummings Park and that there is no landing <br />down by the lake and because there is no real path it could potentially be dangerous. She <br />suggested possibly doing some clearing of the foliage so that the lake can be seen. Mr. <br />McClung commented that if too much of an improvement is made then ADA <br />requirements will probably need to be looked at and it could potentially become a very <br />expensive project. <br /> <br />B. Arden Hills Fall Clean Up Day – Saturday, October 25th <br /> <br />Ms. Grant reminded the committee that the Arden Hills Fall Clean-Up Day is this coming <br />Saturday, October 25th, and asked that the committee members meet at City Hall at 9:00 <br />a.m., if planning on attending. She informed that on Friday Public Works would start <br />cutting down the foliage and that on Saturday they could work on loading the foliage into <br />the trucks. Ms. Grant indicated she is going to also put the information on the Arden <br />Hills Hillbillies site and the Arden Hills website. She stated she will also provide vests, <br />gloves, donuts and water for everyone. <br /> <br />C. Other Unfinished Business <br /> <br />Committee Member Scott recapped that he had expressed interest in being the liaison <br />between the Arden Hills Foundation and the PTRC and that he did get an invite from <br />Kim Tamble informing him the Foundation was meeting on Wednesday night. He <br />indicated he assumed the meeting was at Perkins as previously mentioned but no one <br />from the Foundation was there. He stated he will contact them to see where they are <br />currently meeting so he can attend the next meeting. <br /> <br />5. REPORTS <br /> <br />A. City Council Report <br /> <br />Council Liaison McClung reported that at the last meeting in September, Council <br />approved a preliminary tax levy for 2015. He informed that the truth in taxation hearing <br />is currently set for December 8 and invited the committee members to attend if they were <br />interested in providing comments on the levy and budget for next year. <br /> <br />Council Liaison McClung indicated that Council approved the installation of a Gateway <br />sign at Cleveland and County Road D which they hope to have put in by the end of the <br />year. He indicated because of some easement restrictions the sign will be lower than the <br />other signs and because it will be internally lit it will be green with white cutouts.
