ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JUNE 20, 2022 7 <br /> <br />Mayor Grant said Council would need to consider if the 15,000 square feet of land is worth <br />$125,000. He felt it probably would be. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott wondered if the space would be big enough to put in a pickleball court. <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said they could add a pickleball court when <br />the existing tennis court surface gets redone. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault said it might be cheaper to have the contractor doing the parking lot <br />also construct a hard surface court. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant thought Council was agreeable to the 50/50 split. <br /> <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes was agreeable to it but was surprised they were willing to give up land <br />and split the cost. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden noted the gaga ball pit was always in use and suggested they add them <br />to other parks. <br /> <br />F. Council Tracker <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault provided the Council with an update on the Council Tracker. After <br />discussion, all items were left on the tracker. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant and Councilmember Holden requested that Tree Plan and Landscaping Fund be <br />added to the tracker. <br /> <br />Discussion continued regarding diseased ash trees in the City. Staff will provide the letter sent to <br />residents in the Admin Update. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked that City Code Changes be added to the tracker. <br /> <br />2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes wondered how long the small fabric dumpsters (Bagsters) are allowed <br />to be on a resident’s property and if there was anything in the ordinance about it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott said PTRC would have their summer parks tour at 6:30 p.m. the next <br />evening starting at Hazelnut, then Sampson and Floral Park. He asked if Council would like <br />PTRC input into what to do with the potential land being added to Hazelnut Park. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden commented on bee keeping and the City ordinances. The <br />Shoreview/Arden Hills Rotary Club is having a beer and wine tasting event in August at Snail <br />Lake Park that she would like to add to the newsletter, and if anyone wants tickets to let her know. <br /> <br />Councilmember Radziej thanked the Council for finishing up the food truck item in his absence.
