ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - APRIL 30, 2001 12 H. Resolution #01-10, "Resolution regarding Meeting Ending Time for City-Related Meetings" . . Mr. Lynch explained this resolution would set standard meeting times and set a standard of 10:00 p.m. for all meetings to end. Councilmember Larson stated they should amend the resolution and not set a commencement time. He noted they should only require all city meetings should end by 10:00 p.m. Councilmember Aplikowski asked if this is a requirement for all city meetings. She stated her concern is that they should ask the committee members how they feel about it. She noted the Planning Commission meetings frequently go past 10:00 p.m. Councilmember Larson stated he thinks this is an instance were they are setting a policy for the committees. He noted otherwise it places a burden on citizens to not be home by 10:00 p.m. He added it is also good for staff. He stated also the best decisions are not made when everyone is tired. He noted it affects a lot of people. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion to approve the Resolution #01-10 regarding meeting Ending Time for City -Related Meetings as amended to strike the language "that begin at 7:30 p.m.,". The motion carried unanimously (5-0). . I. Fire Station No.1 Roof Repairs, Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department, Adjustment of Capital Improvement Plan (eIP) Projected Expenditures Mr. Lynch explained the Lake Johanna Fire Departments approach regarding roof repairs. He stated Fire Chief Scott showed staff the rust resulting from the leaking roof. He noted the original portion of the roof that was not replaced is leaking. He added there is also not sufficient drainage from the northern portion of the roof. He stated the roof drains are not of a sufficient size. He noted the replacement cost is $18,000. He added the Building Inspector says $5,000 is enough to add a larger roof drain to solve the problem. He suggests doing this work in exchange for the bay floor resurfacing that was scheduled. He stated the bay floor project would be adjusted to 2004. Mayor Probst asked if they are redoing the insulation as well. Mr. Post responded he did not think they were adding any R-value in the roof.

MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve staff s recommendation to expend an amount not to exceed $25,000 to replace the Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department Roof Repairs and to reschedule the resurfacing of the bay floors at that facility.
