ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - JUNE 21, 2021 7 <br />City Administrator Perrault didn't believe we have signage or ordinance for motorized bikes. <br />Councilmember Holden would like Bethel to keep them on campus. <br />Councilmember McClung thought we wouldn't want them on our trails and sidewalks and <br />would like the geo-fence. <br />Councilmember Holmes would like to know what other cities are doing. <br />Mayor Grant instructed staff to do some research on the issue. <br />F. Little Free Libraries Discussion <br />(Discussed as Item H) <br />City Administrator Perrault said the Rotary has some Little Free Libraries they would like to <br />donate to the City, there are questions about where to place them. They are currently not allowed <br />in the right-of-way or on City property. <br />Councilmember Holden added that she has mapped the Little Library locations and most of them <br />are in the right-of-way, and there are two in Hazelnut Park. There are quite a few neighborhoods <br />that don't have Little Libraries. She is looking for feedback and wondered if they will need to <br />move the ones that are in the right-of-way. <br />Councilmember Scott wondered if Arden Manor had restrictions. <br />City Administrator Perrault replied they are private roads and Little Libraries would fall under <br />their association's jurisdiction. <br />Councilmember McClung said the townhomes he lives in have several in cul-de-sacs and they <br />are adding one or two more. He was willing to accept the donation to add them to neighborhoods <br />without them. <br />Mayor Grant would like to have them at least four feet from the curb to leave room for snow <br />removal, he wasn't overly concerned with them being in the right-of-way. <br />Councilmember Holmes wondered how the libraries ended up in Hazelnut Park. She thought <br />they could add more to other parks. <br />Councilmember Holden said her first choice would be to have them on residential property so <br />there would be someone there to watch them. But she wouldn't mind putting one in Freeway <br />Park. <br />Councilmember Homes said there have been no problems so far so she thought they should just <br />leave them alone and let people put them where they wanted. <br />Councilmember Holden suggested they ask online if anyone was willing to put a library in their <br />yard, four feet from the curb. <br />
