I I I- I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCn. - JULY 25, 1994 17 that the Council declare publically the intention of the Council so those interested in the vacant seat can plan accordingly. Aplikowski stated that she has mixed feelings. The idea of asking a fonner Councilmember to fill in was discussed. The Council could get someone who is interested in running and give them a headstart. That seems an undue advantage. She would agree to leaving the seat vacant if everyone can attend meetings. Consensus of the Council was to the seat remain vacant until after the election. Winkel asked if the resolution on the memo regarding the pickup truck and water van that was passed under the Consent Calendar includes approval of the updated new bid prices on the pickup and water vans. Councilmembers agreed that the resolution included approval of the new bid prices. Aplikowski asked if the deadline for the grant application for the park is July 29, 1994. Person stated that the date should be July 25, 1994. Also the title should be corrected to be action by the Director to carry out the paper work. Person reported a question re: Council intent from City Attorney Filla of a letter from Mr. Timothy Nelson, Everest Property Management Company, regarding a 6-inch curb encroachment of the setback area at 1275 Red Fox Road. The property is in the process of a sale and the purchaser has raised the issue of the 6-inch curb encroachment. The City has determined this to be a minor item with no Council action or change being required. Person stated that there have been discussions with TCAAP officials on renting space for Council meetings. She asked if the Council wishes to pursue an agreement. Aplikowski stated, and Councilmembers concurred, that staff has worked hard on this item, and it should move forward so there is no lost ground. Malone stated that there is an ad hoc outfit advertising used cars for sale and other recreational equipment at the northwest comer of T.H. 96 and Highway 10. People are parking cars on the highway to shop. Fritsinger stated that the County and the Sheriff have been contacted about the problem. The County will be posting more "No Parking" signs. Malone suggested that the City look into an alternative method from the Sherifrs Deputy of delivering Council packets due to Arden Hills being the only City using this type of delivery. Mayor Probst noted the issue of the Arden Manor swimming pool on the agenda at the last meeting and requested an update.
