ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – AUGUST 17, 2020 9 <br /> <br />Finance Director Bauman said she could bring forward the maximum tax levy with different <br />options to the September 14 meeting and it could carry forward to September 28 if necessary. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden wondered if the City was going to continue to use Ramsey County for <br />preventative maintenance. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said they would be looking at doing some of <br />the preventative maintenance in house. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault said the Sheriff’s Department didn’t have an estimate for COVID <br />funding yet, but the City could expect to use CARES funding toward 2020 fees. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes said she would like to understand the funding for Northeast Youth and <br />Family Services and if they should not fund, partially fund or request further dialogue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden agreed because they don’t know how much of the service that is being <br />provided Arden Hills residents is being covered by the resident’s insurance. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott would like to continue to fund them but find out more about expenditures. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung said he also had some concerns and is somewhat uncomfortable with <br />the increase. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault said he could find out a detailed accounting of Northeast Youth and <br />Family Services. <br /> <br />E. Council Tracker <br /> <br />After discussion it was determined that Wyncrest Court and Cummings Park Parking Concerns, <br />Horitas Acres, and Old Snelling Trail and McCracken Lane items could be removed. The revised <br />estimated completion date for Speed Limit Discussion on City Streets was changed to February <br />2021. <br /> <br />2. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott noted that one of the board members for Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, Rick <br />Gwynn, had passed away with services at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung said he was disappointed they didn’t decide to have further discussion <br />on Item C. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden wondered if a letter could be sent from the City to the homeowners of <br />the retaining walls on Hamline Avenue and give them the information for Ramsey County. <br />
