ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 7 F. Council Tracker Mayor Grant suggested the Council review the tracker on their own and report any changes or additions to Staff. Roll call was taken to close the meeting for Item G. G. Union Negotiations Update (Closed per M.S. 13D.03, Subd. 1(b) and 179A.01 to 179A.25) City Administrator Perrault gave the City Council an update regarding contract negotiations and asked for direction. The meeting was reopened for Council and Staff Comments. 2. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS Councilmember Holmes remarked that there is a lightly marked crosswalk at Mounds View High School that shouldn’t be used and wondered if staff was able to reach anyone regarding it. City Administrator Perrault said it has been repainted but the color is slightly different from the asphalt so it still looks like a crosswalk. Councilmember Holmes said there is another area to the east that is also being used. Councilmember Scott noted there was a program run by the Metropolitan Council for water conservation that may be worthwhile to look into. He also thought the Council should consider modifying the ordinance that limits the number of drive-through restaurants. Mayor Grant asked for an update on the EAB. Interim Public Works Director Swearingen said the company may be able to get the trees treated next week. Mayor Grant asked for an update on ICWC workers as they didn’t show up the last time they were scheduled. Interim Public Works Director Swearingen responded there was a last minute scheduling conflict so they are making a more formal agreement. There was an issue with the quality of workers earlier this summer that was reported to the group leader and they have cycled some workers out of the program. Mayor Grant said he has received feedback regarding Ramsey County Parks possibly being left open 24/7. He asked staff to put a newsflash on the website regarding the issue.
