<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MAY 14,2001 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />cable area has same language. She added the majority of the communities have adopted <br />language similar to this one. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rem asked if the text deleted on page 4 of 32, in the definition section, number <br />h, should be included some other place in the document. She stated it is clear the language needs <br />to be changed. She noted however, the language makes sense and seems to belong some place <br />else. Mr. Brown responded the previous language defined equipment by what it was not and the <br />new language defines equipment by what it is. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked about changing the time limit of restoration from 36 months to 12 <br />months. Mr. Brown responded a more realistic number is 12 months. He stated usually after <br />one year, it is homeowner's responsibility. He noted staffthought 36 months was excessive. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated he was surprised by the 36 months language. Mr. Brown responded <br />sod usually has a 30 days guarantee. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated shrub material has a normal warranty of a year. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown stated they could make the language more specific: sod could have a 30-day <br />guarantee and plantings could have a 12-month guarantee. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion <br />to direct staff to make the necessary changes and bring the corrected Ordinance <br />back at the first June regular Council Meeting. The motion carried unanimously <br />(5-0). <br /> <br />Councilmember Lynch stated he does have a concern about fencing, stone, gardens, etc. placed <br />in the right-of-way by homeowners. He noted that, ifthe city damages something with <br />snowplowing, they have to replace it. He added they should take a look at including some <br />language to provide a disincentive to do that. He stated they should talk what would be <br />allowable in the right-of-way. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rem stated there should be an ongoing reminder to tell people what is <br />appropriate. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated they should establish a policy or do an article reminding residents that there <br />are things the city would pay for. He noted the city does not cover the cost of landscaping, rocks, <br />or fences that are damaged. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated staff should take look at what the other cities have adopted. He <br />noted it gives the city more control over what is restored. He added he is reluctant to give that <br />up. Mr. Brown responded 24 months is fairly common in state contracts. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />City Hall Construction Project, Furnishings, Award Bid <br />
