ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—JANUARY 21, 2020 5 <br /> being levied in 2021 and 2022. They are asking the City to cover the initial cost of the pump and <br /> panel so it can be repaired and replaced in the spring of 2020, that the City take responsibility for <br /> stabilizing the slope and controlling erosion in the area of the pump and control cabinet, and that <br /> the City continue to cover the cost of operating the pump, installing and removing it and storing it <br /> in the winter. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said he would prefer to not put in another <br /> retaining wall so they would look at options of stopping the water flow and getting vegetation to <br /> grow on the bank. A grant application for a 50% match has been submitted to the Rice Creek <br /> Watershed. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if we retrofit the existing cabinet would it be good for ten years. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom responded that the cabinet is stainless steel <br /> and even though it is a weathered it is generally still a good cabinet. The price includes putting a <br /> phase convertor inside the existing cabinet. He felt the cabinet should be fine for the estimated life <br /> of the pump with the assumption that the bank is stabilized with some burming and minor grading <br /> to control the drainage. <br /> Councilmember McClung wondered if the Improvement District Board understood that fronting <br /> money for repair is a one time thing and they need to establish an escrow. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said they plan to discuss that at their next <br /> meeting. <br /> Councilmember Holden said she would go with Option 1 with reassurance from the <br /> Improvement District Board that is something happens they take care of it in the future. <br /> Councilmember Holmes agreed that the Karth Lake Improvement District Board should be <br /> responsible for the pump and control cabinet. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said at the March Karth Lake Improvement <br /> District Board meeting he will discuss with the Board that the city will attempt to stabilize the <br /> slope but the Board is responsible into perpetuity for the control cabinet and pump. <br /> Mayor Grant asked if they could try to push the meeting to February. <br /> G. 2020 and 2021 Capital Project Delivery <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said he was asking for direction on three <br /> initiatives. The first is the Asset Management Plan, he would like to move that study in-house to <br /> be done by Public Works and Engineering personnel, rather than use a consultant to develop a <br /> plan. Asset management planning work is recommended for the street system, water distribution <br /> system, sanitary sewer system, storm drainage system, park/trail facilities and vehicle/equipment <br /> items. He felt this project is one of the most important things they can do to allow the Council to <br /> set priorities. <br />
