ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 23, 2020 2 <br />Mr. Gilbert said their concerns as constituents of color include representation, support for BIPOC <br />community members, committment to change with measurable outcomes and a sense of urgency <br />from City Council. <br />Mr. Bindoula addressed their concerns in regard to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. <br />Mr. Mesfin said they felt the Council should ask critical questions regarding the Ramsey County <br />Sheriff Department: Use of force policy, de-escalation policy, accountability for excessive force - <br />Internal Affairs system, mental health alternatives and the no-knock warrant policy. <br />Mr. Bindoula stated they would like a Civilian Review Board, to publicize the Sheriff's <br />department use of force policy and publicize reports concerning the department's activity and <br />dispatch reports. <br />Mr. Mesfin explained community -based public safety including restorative justice, preventative <br />measure, decriminalization of nonviolent crimes, direct democracy at the community level, <br />community patrols and advanced mental health care. <br />Ms. Sislo-Schutta said they would like the City to create a Human Rights Commission, have <br />outreach to BIPOC constituents, increased education and awareness, equity audit, and hold the <br />Ramsey County Sheriff Department to higher standards and if they do not meet these standards, <br />enter contract negotiations. <br />Mr. Gilbert read a poem he had presented at the previous organized march. <br />Mayor Grant thanked them for their presentation and said it would be on a future work session to <br />discuss in more detail. <br />B. HVAC Project Update <br />City Administrator Perrault commented that Council had approved Paulson and Clark to review <br />the current system, provide a recommendation and carry out the design. <br />Mr. Willemssen said the assessment report was an overview of the major pieces in the building <br />with reasonable expectations for remaining life, along with general recommendations. The <br />recommendations report listed out options and costs. <br />Mr. Willemssen reviewed the recommendations report which included options for the water <br />heater, boiler, cooling system and duct liner. His recommendation was to replace the condensing <br />units outside and the cooling coils. If the higher efficient chiller option was chosen, the return on <br />investment would be about 30 years. <br />City Administrator Perrault said next steps would be for Paulson and Clark to finish the design <br />and with Council's authorization they will begin the bidding process for the construction. <br />Mr. Willemssen said they could get documents ready for bid by mid -late August, and a contractor <br />could be working by October, depending on lead time for equipment. He thought the hot water <br />component could be operational yet this fall. The cooling could be done anytime after that. <br />
