ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JANUARY 8, 2018 4 <br /> Councilmember Holden supported the City spending an additional $25,000 for this amenity for <br /> this neighborhood park and recommended the plans for Johanna Marsh Park be amended as such. <br /> Mayor Grant supported the observation area going forward as an option for the park and <br /> recommended the overlook not exceed $25,000. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated another option would be to eliminate the park shelter in order to <br /> construct an observation area as this was being requested by the neighbors. <br /> Mayor Grant anticipated the residents would want benches in the center of the park for parents <br /> watching their children on the playground. <br /> Councilmember McClung stated what was being proposed was okay, but he did not want to <br /> have the hands of the Council tied to any specific plan. He wanted to wait and see what additional <br /> feedback would be received. <br /> Councilmember Scott indicated he supported the option of an observation overlook area. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to <br /> Approve the scope and fee with WSB in the not-to-exceed amount of$33,000 <br /> for the design and construction services for Johanna Marsh Park. <br /> Councilmember McClung asked what would happen in March if the neighborhood did not <br /> support the proposed observation overlook area. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka reported she would work with the neighborhood <br /> groups between now and March to gain feedback on the overlook area. <br /> Councilmember Holden commented that this was not a negotiation process with the <br /> neighborhood. She explained that the City took feedback from the neighbors and would now be <br /> designing a City park based on this feedback, but in the end, this was a City park that had to be <br /> paid for and maintained by the City. <br /> Councilmember Scott encouraged City staff to incorporate both the playground and the overlook <br /> into the park in order to meet the needs of both groups. <br /> Councilmember Holden requested further information on why the City was spending money on <br /> design services with WSB. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka explained WSB would be completing a survey for <br /> the wetlands, would have to comply with all ADA requirements to ensure the playground was <br /> accessible, in addition the soil conditions would be addressed. <br /> The motion carried 3-1 (McClung opposed). <br /> 7.
