ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — FEBRUARY 21, 2023 10 <br />noticeable that Arden Hills is missing from the list of partners. He felt the City should participate <br />with the organization. <br />Mayor Grant noted that Arden Hills was a founding member of the organization. He agreed they <br />could invite the CEO to speak at one of the next work sessions. <br />J. No Mow May Discussion <br />Mayor Grant said there have been some issues in other cities with some residents not coming <br />into compliance and asked whether or not the City should participate. <br />Councilmember Holden thought she had heard that a city was changing their end date to May 20. <br />She thought it was a great idea last year but then it rained a lot the last week of May and <br />everyone's grass sprung up. <br />Councilmember Monson asked if the City would maintain parks, fields, boulevards etc.? <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said they would have to set parameters of <br />what would be expected of Public Works staff. <br />Councilmember Monson supported No Mow May, but thought the City could find areas that <br />they could forgo mowing. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said staff would also need to figure out how <br />to dispose of the excess grass material that would be cut after the month was over. <br />Mayor Grant said they could implement No Mow May for residents and businesses but the city <br />would still do as normal for ball fields, parks etc. so the city doesn't look unkept. <br />Councilmember Holden said it is also during tick season and the taller grass could make that <br />more of an issue. <br />Councilmember Rousseau supported No Mow May and thought staff would have to use their <br />best judgement. <br />Mayor Grant noted the City went silent on it last year, he didn't think they wanted to provide <br />signs, it could get promoted in the newsletter. <br />City Administrator Perrault said it wasn't a public requested event, but that other cities were <br />doing it. <br />After further discussion it was decided a resolution would be brought forth to the Council to allow <br />No Mow May for residents and businesses, no signs would be issued, no enforcement would <br />happen between May 1 and June 10, and the City will mow its properties. <br />
