ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – FEBRUARY 18, 2020 5 <br /> <br />which runs tree sales for cities), or purchasing from a wholesale retailer like Gerten’s or <br />Bachmann’s. <br /> <br />GreenCorps Member Mooney-Jones stated Tree Trust charges the city $30 per tree and the <br />resident $100. The cost of the tree for the resident can be offset if the City selects to contribute <br />more than the minimum of $30 dollars per tree. The wholesalers allow residents to by trees <br />through the city. The residents notify the city of what trees they want to purchase and pay the City <br />directly. The City is then responsible for purchasing and distributing the trees from the <br />wholesaler. <br /> <br />GreenCorps Member Mooney-Jones reported another option is to purchase seedlings (1-2-foot- <br />tall) from a nearby soil and water conservation districts. The Anoka County Conservation District <br />sells seedlings in batches of 10 and 25 while the Washington County Conservation District sells <br />only in batches of 25. These would be picked up by staff in late April and could then be sold or <br />given away to Arden Hills residents. A Nursery Stock Dealer Certificate from the Minnesota <br />Department of Agriculture would needed for any tree sale held by the City. This $225 certificate is <br />required to sell or distribute nursery stock in Minnesota. She provided further comment on the <br />options available to the Council and requested feedback on how to proceed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she believed the City should forego the tree sale this year given <br />the fact the Friends of the Parks would be selling trees again in 2021. The rest of the Council was <br />in agreement. <br /> <br />F. Karth Lake Pump and Control Cabinet Discussion <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated at the November 18, 2019 work <br />session, the City Council discussed funding for replacement of the outlet pump and repairs to the <br />control cabinet for Karth Lake. The Council directed staff to work with the Karth Lake <br />Improvement District Board to consider a proposal for the Improvement District to fund the cost <br />of the replacement pump and repairs (or replacement) of the associated control cabinet, and the <br />City would address the failing retaining wall adjacent to the control panel and management of the <br />pump operations. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom reported on December 11, 2019, the Karth <br />Lake Improvement District Board discussed four options to repair the pump and control cabinet <br />based on price quotation information obtained by City staff as described below. <br /> <br />• Option 1: Replace Pump and Retrofit Existing Control Cabinet: $13,002 <br />• Option 2: Replace Pump and Relocate Existing Control Cabinet: $26,702 <br />• Option 3: Replace Pump and Control Cabinet at Existing Location: $27,880 <br />• Option 4: Replace Pump and Relocate a New Control Cabinet: $34,430 <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained on January 15, 2020, the Karth <br />Lake Improvement District Board confirmed their recommendation for Option 1 and discussed a <br />recommended funding strategy for implementation. The Board’s recommendation is to levy the <br />cost for Option 1 in the estimated amount of $13,002 within the District over a two year period <br />with taxes paid in 2021 and 2022. <br />
