While Arden Hills’ legislative districts, MN House <br />and MN Senate, changed respectively from 42A to 40A and 42 to 40, <br />no legislative boundaries within city limits were split. The City Council <br />adopted Resolution 2022-009 on March 14, 2022 reestablishing our three <br />polling place locations (P1 at North Heights Lutheran Church, P2 at <br />Bethel’s Anderson Center and P3 at Presbyterian Church of the Way). <br />Four seats will be up for election in fall 2022. This includes the Mayor <br />and two City Councilmember seats, which are four-year seats with terms <br />running 2023-2026, and also one, special two-year seat with a term <br />running 2023-2024. The special seat is as a result of the unfortunate <br />passing of Councilmember Dave McClung. Those interested in running for <br />a seat must file an Affidavit of Candidacy. Candidate filing packets will be <br />made available online and paper packets can be picked up at City Hall in <br />July or at the Ramsey County Elections Office (90 West Plato Blvd, Suite <br />160, St. Paul). The filing period opens August 2 and will close on August <br />16 at 5 pm. The cost to file is $2.00. Contact the City Clerk at 651-792- <br />7811 with questions. <br />Spring Lake Park Lions Club Donation <br />The Spring Lake Park Lion’s Club donated $10,000 to the City of Arden <br />Hills earmarked for park related improvements. The club’s mission is <br />to help those in need within their communities through fundraising and <br />charitable gambling. To learn more about the organization, visit their <br />website at slplions.com. The City Council will be deciding how to best <br />spend this money in the upcoming months. We are grateful for the Lion’s <br />Club support of our beautiful park system here in Arden Hills! <br />Permits Required for Many Remodeling Projects <br />Whenever you’re preparing to tackle your next home improvement <br />project, keep in mind you may be required to obtain a permit through <br />the City before starting construction. Exterior additions such as a deck, <br />shed, and fencing require a zoning permit; interior projects such as <br />basement finishing and replacing windows will require a building permit; <br />and replacement of a water heater, furnace, or AC system will need a <br />mechanical permit. This is only a partial list: for a full list of the projects <br />that require permits, visit the City’s Building & Permits webpage at <br />cityofardenhills.org/154/Building-Permits. <br />Upon approval of the permit, construction must begin within 180 days or <br />a new permit will be required. Upon finishing work, please make sure to <br />contact the City so an inspection can be conducted. A minimum notice of <br />24 hours is required for all inspections. For any questions about permits <br />or inspections, contact Building Official Steve Thorp at 651-792-7813.2
