ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION September 16, 2019 7 <br />Councilmember McClung asked if staff could provide the actual number of miles of streets in <br />Arden Hills. <br />E. Public Works Director Discussion <br />City Administrator Perrault stated the City has a vacancy for Public Works Director/City <br />Engineer, currently being filled by an interim director (Todd Blomstrom) from SEH. The <br />Council's intent was to hire SEH for at least six months to evaluate how to move forward with the <br />position. Staff discussed if the position should be split but felt it wasn't necessary. There are <br />options to consider; 1) re -post for the position 2) continue with a consultant or 3) split the role. <br />Another option would be to enter into a longer-term contract with SEH and leave Mr. Blomstrom <br />in the position. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained his work hours and <br />availability. Also, the current Senior Engineering Technician could be groomed into the role of <br />Public Works Director. <br />After discussion, Council decided to continue the contract with SEH for an additional year <br />(through January 2021), with further options to be discussed at a work session in July. Project <br />bids will be considered from SEH and other vendors. <br />Council agreed to continue the meeting past 8:00 p.m. <br />F. Public Works Admin Office Support Discussion <br />City Administrator Perrault explained there is a need for administrative assistance in the Public <br />Works Department, the position would be similar in grade to the office support positions at City <br />Hall. Some items the assistant could help with include receiving and responding to requests for <br />service, implementing a work order system, coordinating material orders and inventory, <br />monitoring the training and safety program, MS4 permits, informational mailings, and <br />documenting work load statuses. This position would not have a negative impact on the budget. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom felt about half of the calls that are <br />received by the Public Works Director and Superintendent could be handled by this position. He <br />highly recommends getting a work order system implemented among other things. He felt even a <br />half time person would be a huge improvement. <br />After discussion, staff was directed to post for the position. <br />G. Old Snelling at Lindey's Triangle <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the roundabout has to be built at that location. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said the County is paying for a <br />considerable amount of the project, and the intersection doesn't meet warrants for a signal light. <br />
