ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — September 16, 2019 3 <br />City Administrator Perrault rephrased that if the Church isn't willing to reduce the size of the <br />lot and enter into an agreement for reconstruction the City would do nothing. <br />Mayor Grant suggested putting a few parking stalls on the City property and disregarding the <br />Church lot. <br />City Administrator Perrault said the Church isn't interested in reducing the size of the parking <br />lot. He asked for clarification that if the Church isn't willing to reduce the size of the parking lot <br />for green space, the City won't be willing to reconstruct the parking lot. <br />Councilmember McClung said if they can't find a way to move forward together than we have <br />to insist the Church meets the obligations of what they said they would do in the agreement. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom asked if they were willing to reduce <br />the lot by 30% and convey that land to the City, what would the Council's willingness be to cost <br />share? They could look at lower cost designs. <br />Councilmember Holmes said she would be willing to do bare bones in the parking lot with some <br />concessions by the Church, and would like to know what the Corrections crew could do. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the location placement of the warming house. It was agreed to table <br />the item until staff meets again with the Church. <br />B. Karth Lake Pump Replacement <br />City Administrator Perrault stated that in 2003 the City Council approved the formation of the <br />Karth Lake Improvement District. The duty of the District is to act as an advisory board to the <br />City Council on construction and maintenance of a lake elevation control structure and other <br />duties as defined in the bylaws. The first project was the installation of a pump to aid in <br />controlling the lake levels. The project cost approximately $99,000 and was split 50% by the <br />City's stormwater fund and 50% by the District by a levy specific to the properties surrounding <br />Karth Lake. There is currently no pump to serve the lake, it needs to be replaced at a cost of <br />approximately $12,000. The City Attorney said the agreement didn't necessarily dictate future <br />projects. There are two other improvements coming up, the retaining wall, budgeted for $100,000 <br />and control panels associated with the pump, estimated at $30,000. The pump is the most <br />immediate need and cost could be absorbed by the Stormwater Maintenance Fund. Karth Lake is <br />still an active taxing district. There was previous discussion by a former City Council on <br />separating the District and making them a private association, but no action was taken. <br />Councilmember Holmes asked why the City would pay for anything if it is a private lake. <br />Councilmember Holden said you don't want to diminish the value of the land around the lake. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said the retaining wall is used to get <br />equipment close enough to the lake to set the equipment in the water. <br />City Administrator Perrault added they believe if not for the pump there would probably not be <br />a need for the retaining wall. <br />
