ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — FEBRUARY 21, 2023 4 Mr. Fink said the law allows them to discriminate for ages 55+ and they use that age to comply, but in reality, the population tends to be older than age 65. Councilmember Fabel said he would be much more impressed by the project if there was some effort to include some measure of affordability. Community Development Director Jagoe noted the church facility had a height of 50 feet and she would verify that number and include it in a future staff memo. B. Hazelnut Park Ecological Restoration Plan Mayor Grant thanked Ms. Seemann for the proposal. He recommended they go with Option l due to using more plugs with less risk and seeds. Councilmembers Holden, Monson and Fabel agreed with Option 1. Councilmember Rousseau asked if there was any liability if a PTRC member applies herbicides. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said Public Works would have to approve the work and location, and volunteers would sign a waiver form. Councilmember Holden asked if they would need a barrel for water. Ms. Seemann said she has a barrel with a top that she would bring to the location. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he would coordinate filling the barrel with Ms. Seemann. Councilmember Rousseau said she would also support Option 1. C. 2024 PMP Street and Utility Improvements Project Mayor Grant said the project would be happening unless anyone had any objections. Councilmember Holden asked if Dawn Circle could be done. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen asked if she was talking about the section between Norma and Dawn because they just did a mill and overlay on Dawn Circle in 2020. They will be crack sealing and seal coating it this year. Councilmember Holden wondered how many manhole covers they still had to replace. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said they would be replacing 56 on this project but he wasn't sure how many city-wide. Councilmember Holden asked about adding a sidewalk or trail on the south side of Royal Lane.
