3 <br />Benchmarks-- <br />a review of City Council Action <br />Hot Dogs with a Deputy <br />Perry Park playground equipment <br />Arden Hills residents had an opportunity to talk to Ramsey County Sheriff’s deputies <br />and examine and try out Department equipment and vehicles at the Hot Dog with <br />a Deputy event, held at Tony Schmidt Park the evening of July 11. In addition to the <br />human officers, neighbors could interact with a K-9 dog and three of the new mounted <br />unit horses. The Sheriff’s Department is hosting these gatherings at various parks in <br />the communities they serve, giving deputies and residents a chance to get to know one <br />another. Free food and water were donated by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Foundation. <br />The new Perry Park play- <br />ground is ready for fun. The old <br />equipment was worn past its <br />safety point so some interest- <br />ing new pieces have replaced <br />them, including the Expression <br />Swings which allow adults and <br />kids to swing together. Perry <br />Park is located at 3700 New <br />Brighton Road. <br />June 26, 2017 <br />• Approved contract award to Osseo <br />Construction to enact repair/repainting <br />of City’s 500,000 gallon water tower <br />for $519,800 <br />• Approved Planning Case 17-013 PUD <br />Amendment for Boston Scientific to <br />add a 5,330 square-foot addition to <br />Building 9 on their campus <br />July 10, 2017 - <br />Absent: McClung (excused) <br />Significant Consent Items Approved (all <br />by 4-0 vote): <br />• Appointment of Alexandria Olson as <br />part time Communications Coordina- <br />tor <br />• Appointment of Terry Reid as Public <br />Works Maintenance Worker <br />• Seasonal appointments of Sophia Van <br />De Werken and Levi Scott as PTRC <br />Playground Leaders <br />• Approved $68,885 for emergency <br />repair/replacement of 19 fire hydrants <br />found to be defective throughout the <br />city <br />July 24, 2017 – <br />Absent: Holden (excused) <br />Significant Consent Items Approved (all <br />by 3-1 vote (Scott)): <br />• Approved Planning Case 17-015 <br />Conditional Use Permit to authorize <br />collection of Source Separated <br />Organics at Ramsey County’s Arden <br />Hills Yard Waste Collection Site at <br />Tony Schmidt Park.
