ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — DECEMBER 12, 2022 4 Councilmember Holmes questioned how Ramsey County would respond if the City asked the County to put this project on hold for one year. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated Ramsey County could choose to scrap the project if it was put on hold for one year. Councilmember Holden discussed how important this intersection would be to the new residents that would be living within the TCAAP development, which meant Ramsey County would have to address this intersection in the near future. Councilmember Scott reiterated there was a water line that had to be replaced under this intersection. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported this was indeed the case. Councilmember Holden anticipated the City would be receiving State bonding to assist with replacing the water line. Councilmember Radziej inquired if the City would receive a bill if Ramsey County walked away from this project. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated he did not believe this would be the case because the City did not have a legal agreement with Ramsey County for this project. Councilmember Holden noted the cost for this project when up by almost 50%. Councilmember Holmes understood this to be the case and stated she would support the new City Council addressing this matter in January of 2023. Councilmember Radziej suggested the City require Ramsey County to complete the trail as part of this project. Mayor Grant supported this recommendation and he appreciated the fact the future City Council could potentially be discussing this matter on January 3, 2022. He said he would call for a special work session and noted the new City Council could discuss both this roundabout and TCAAP. 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES None.
