ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER l 7, 2022 6 City Administrator Perrault said ice skating lessons, volleyball (TBD depending on instructor availability) would not be held, but yoga, fencing, dance, fraud prevention could be held. Councilmember Holden suggested they try to get the ice-skating instructor from last year to come back for the 4-6 year age group and starting January 8. City Administrator Perrault added the guide may only be an insert into the newsletter rather than a regular guide, but there will be a QR code that will take them right to the website to register. F. Council Tracker City Administrator Perrault provided the Council with an update of the Council Tracker. After discussion, the completion date for Trees West of 96 was updated, and International Paper Parking Issue and Public Works Fleet Management Program items were removed. 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES Councilmember Holden asked if pickleball striping was done. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen responded the striping was done at Freeway and Hazelnut parks. Councilmember Holden asked if they were going to try to dredge some of the Femwood channel this year. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said sediment samples had been taken and they should be receiving results soon, which will tell them where they can put the sediment when they remove it. They plan on removing some this year. Councilmember Holden said there are people "moving" their yards into City property with fences, mowing, shrubbery etc. She discussed one property in particular adjacent to Hazelnut trail. Community Development Director Jagoe stated it could be allowed with written permission from the City. Mayor Grant thought if we want it left natural we should tell him to stop mowing. Community Development Director Jagoe asked if they told the property owner to stop mowing but the shrubs remained, would Public Works want to mow around them. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he would want to see the exact placement of the shrubs but they would want to match what they are doing along the entire line, which was to mow approximately 5 feet off the pavement. Mayor Grant said the property owner is encroaching on City property by making a hedge fence and planting on City property.
