ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – APRIL 19, 2021 12 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes supported the City completing Fairview Avenue and Pascal with further <br />consideration of Karth Lake Circle later this summer or early fall. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to direct staff to move forward with the mill and overlay of Fairview <br />Avenue and Pascal, noting there was interest to consider Karth Lake Circle later this summer. <br /> <br />E. Clean-up Day Discussion <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault stated t he Clean-up Day effort was being led by the previous City <br />Planner who has since left the City, a previous memo on Clean-up Day was reviewed with the <br />Council. Council’s direction at the time was to postpone a Clean-up Day as it was not clear how <br />COVID-19 would impact the event. Staff was seeking direction on whether or not Council would <br />like to consider an event in the fall of 2021. If Council wants staff to move forward, more <br />information will be brought forward to Council for future discussion. However, given staffing <br />resources and previous options presented by Planning staff, staff would likely recommend utilizing <br />Green Lights Recycling in Blaine, similar to the cities of Blaine, Anoka, Fridley and Spring Lake <br />Park. Staff then provided an update on recycling duties and requested feedback on how to proceed <br />with the Clean-up Day. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated in the last month and a half he has had three residents contact <br />him asking about a Clean-up Day. He noted these residents encouraged the City to provide <br />residents with an option this year. He supported the City working with Green Lights Recycling to <br />provide a Clean-up Day in Arden Hills. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott agreed stating residents were swimming in unwanted items. He supported <br />the City holding a Clean-up Day with Green Lights Recycling. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes indicated this was a practical matter and she believed Green Lights <br />Recycling was the best option for the City. She recommended a Clean-up Day be pursued with <br />this organization. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden supported the City pursuing a Clean-up Day with Green Lights <br />Recycling. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant recommended City staff speak with Green Lights Recycling about a Clean-up Day <br />in Arden Hills. He requested staff track how many people attend this event. <br /> <br /> <br />F. COVID-19 and City Operations Discussion <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault stated since March of last year, the City has been operating under <br />COVID-19 related guidelines, which include limited staff at City Hall, closing City Hall to the <br />public, and altered field operations. Staff is seeking Council’s direction on whether it would like to <br />make any changes to current operations, or keep with the status quo. It should be noted that there <br />is no right answer for how other cities are handling their COVID mitigation measures, some cities <br />never closed while some remain closed like Arden Hills, and many are in the middle. The Personnel <br />Committee did discuss this in late March, and given that Minnesota remains one of the states with <br />higher rates of infection, and the numbers do not appear to be drastically improving, the Personnel
