ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – FEBRUARY 18, 2020 7 <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung indicated he wanted a mechanism in place so Karth Lake District <br />could pay for a pump and control panel in the future. He did not support the City offering <br />assistance to the Karth Lake District again in the future. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden recommended the City Council draft a policy stating who would be <br />responsible for and assessed for the pump and control panel. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Gary Gerding, Karth Lake Boardmember, discussed the two groups that live on the lake. He <br />noted there was one group that gifts a sum of money to the lake district each year in order to assist <br />with lake maintenance. He commented the other group resents spending any money on the lake. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to direct staff to bring Council action to the March 9th meeting <br />recommending approval of the purchase the pump and the parts within Option 1 with staff <br />following up on the assessments and written policy at a future date. <br /> <br />D. ICWC 2020 Contract Renewal and Draft 2020 Work Plan <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated in May 2019, the City entered into a <br />one-year contract to participate in the Institution Community Work Crew (ICWC) program. The <br />program provided a work crew consisting of a crew leader and up to ten crewmembers for up to <br />ten hours per day to complete predetermined work plans. Work dates were available on Friday, <br />Saturday and Sunday at a cost of $75 per hour. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom commented ICWC crews completed <br />buckthorn removal in Floral, Cummings and Hazelnut parks, sediment removal and rain garden <br />maintenance in Valentine Park, and performed landscape maintenance at City Hall, Highway 96 <br />median areas and gateway sign on New Brighton Road in 2019. The ICWC has provided a new <br />contract for the 2020 season. The terms of this proposed contract are similar to the 2019 contract, <br />including an hourly rate of $75 per hour for crew time. The ICWC program supervisor and Public <br />Works staff have discuss the City’s desire for more extensive use of ICWC work crews during the <br />2020 season. An initial list of potential 2020 projects was developed and reviewed with ICWC <br />representatives in September 2019. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained two projects are not included on <br />the proposed 2020 ICWC Work Plan. ICWC reviewed the scope of work for the Karth Lake <br />Retaining Wall and the picnic shelter roof replacements at Floral, Hazelnut and Cummings Park. <br />ICWC determined that their crews could not complete these projects due to the scope and nature <br />of the work. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked how many hours the crews on the weekend. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated the crews typically worked 10 hours a <br />day. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden indicated the Crepeau Nature Preserve was in poor condition. She <br />recommended some resources be dedicated to the preserve.
