ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – FEBRUARY 18, 2020 8 <br /> <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the type of projects the ICWC crews could and could not <br />complete. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked if the crews could put on a new asphalt roof on the Perry Park pavilion. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Frid explained the crews could complete asphalt shingle roof <br />work, but not steel roof work. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant supported the ICWC crew installing a new roof on the Perry Park pavilion and <br />construction of the Hazelnut Park warming house. He believed it would be advantageous for the <br />City to use a crew versus hiring a roofing company. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom discussed the plans the crews would need in <br />place in order to complete the Hazelnut warming house. He reported the City budgeted $10,000 <br />for the ICWC crews in 2020 and so far the City has over 200 hours of work which would cost <br />approximately $15,000. He explained the Council could add more hours onto the contract, but <br />noted this would be a budgetary issues that would have to be addressed. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated he could support transferring money out of the General Fund <br />Budget in order to have the ICWC crews complete projects for the City because this frees up <br />Public Works Staff to complete other projects. He noted this was a cost effective way for the City <br />to have projects completed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott discussed the importance of the City keeping up with its preventative <br />maintenance within the parks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if the buckthorn removal efforts were working in the City’s <br />parks. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom believed this to be the case because the seed <br />stock was being removed. He commented further on the long process that had to be followed in <br />order to eradicate buckthorn. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant discussed the great strides Roseville was making in the removal of buckthorn. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes questioned why the ICWC crews were not hired to mow grass. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Frid described this work was currently being done by seasonal <br />employees. He reported the crews only worked on the weekends and these crews would have to <br />use the City’s equipment. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated it was staff’s recommendation to use <br />the ICWC crews to complete work that staff could not get to throughout the summer. He <br />commented further on how the availability of the crews was limited with a part-time crew versus a <br />full-time crew. <br />
