<br /> I <br /> I. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER II,J 995 9 <br /> I <br /> Mayor Probst indicated he would like to reiterate the feeling that the work of the Task Force is <br /> I not in vain and will be very useful in the future. <br /> Mayor Probst noted the DNR still wants a Nature Center on the property and the Army Reserve <br /> I still wants the Public Works facility, so partnership discussions will continue. <br /> I Council member Malone pointed out the benefit of the Task Force process was to establish a plan <br /> prior to the sections of property being excessed.
