ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – MAY 16, 2022 9 <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott said he met with three members of the Karth Lake Improvement District <br />and took a walking tour. He explained to them that it was storm water flowing into the lake, not <br />sewer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott noted there will be a retirement ceremony for Terry Schwerm at the <br />Shoreview Community Center Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Saturday at 10:00 a.m. is Touch a Truck <br />and Scoops for Troops is Sunday at 10:00 a.m. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes said there is someone in her neighborhood with a boat in his front yard <br />that was sent a letter, he is upset and complaining about other neighbors with similar situations. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes said she would like more information on the alarm system for the water <br />towers. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said they were notified by a passerby that <br />noticed the water coming out of the ground on Lexington Avenue. Because it was a large break it <br />drained the water tower to below 20 feet, which is what the alarm is set at, and the alarm did go <br />off while they were working on the leak. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes felt the rate of the water dissipated should also set the alarm off. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault said if you bump it too high the alarm will go off every day. <br /> <br />Councilmember Radziej thought Public Works did a great job fixing the break as fast as they <br />did, and keeping the lift stations working during the storms. He noted he would be gone on June <br />13. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant wondered if given recent Federal announcements of programs and the amount of <br />money that is available, would the City be well advised to hire a grant writer? And would that <br />position be able to fund itself? He asked Council to consider the idea. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault noted the Public Works appreciation and staff recognition event <br />will be pushed out until later this summer. Staff started visiting businesses on Lexington Avenue <br />to discuss the road construction. <br /> <br />ADJOURN <br /> <br />Mayor Grant adjourned the City Council Work Session at 8:10 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />__________________________ __________________________ <br />Jolene Trauba David Grant <br />Deputy City Clerk Mayor
