ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 5 <br />Councilmember Holmes stated she did not believe a 2040 traffic study was necessary. She <br />wanted to see the traffic concerns present today had to be addressed here and now. She believed <br />only a 10 -year traffic study should be completed. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom anticipated the traffic growth rate <br />would not be significant. He commented this would not add a huge amount of work on to the <br />scope of services for the consultant. <br />Councilmember Holmes reported she would like to see the Council hold a meeting with the <br />WSB consultants after data collection was complete in order to discuss preliminary concepts. She <br />supported a public meeting being held as well. <br />Mayor Grant indicated he could support another meeting being held. <br />MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to <br />approve a Professional Services Agreement with WSB for the preparation and <br />completion of the Lake Valentine Roadway Improvement Recommendation <br />Study in an amount not to exceed $40,054, directing staff to schedule a <br />worksession meeting with WSB after data collection was complete. The <br />motion carried (5-0). <br />4. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS <br />A. Legislative Update <br />Senator Jason Isaacson thanked the Council for their time. He provided the Council with an <br />update on the upcoming legislative session. He stated there were urgent matters that would have <br />to be addressed such as insulin, transportation funding, social services, and LGA funding. He <br />commented on the bills he would be sponsoring regarding school counselors and mental health. <br />Councilmember Holden questioned if the State would be addressing e -cigarettes and tobacco <br />use. <br />Senator Isaacson stated he would have aggressive tobacco legislation coming forward. He <br />thanked his cities for working to address this issue at a local level. He commented he would work <br />to ban flavored vaping products in Minnesota. In addition, he wanted to have all tobacco products <br />sold only at tobacco shops or bars. He discussed the amount of money that was spent on a yearly <br />basis to address tobacco related illnesses in the State of Minnesota. <br />Mayor Grant questioned what would occur around transportation in the upcoming legislative <br />session. <br />Senator Isaacson reported he would be working towards a pretty significant increase in transit for <br />this area. He stated there were several Fortune 500 companies within 10 miles of this location and <br />all were asking for more transit options. He commented further on how it would be difficult to <br />bring both sides of the political spectrum together to accomplish much transportation -wise. <br />
