ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - DECEMBER 18, 2023 2 <br />Councilmember Holden wondered how much of the engineering costs were associated with the <br />security improvements. <br />Mr. Nesler replied that it was probably half and half. He felt it was the right time to do this <br />project before the coating completely fails, they can catch the spots they found now and get <br />another ten to 15 years out of that paint. <br />Mayor Grant asked if there were some components that staff wasn't recommending. <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller said there were a few items they would strongly <br />recommend and some that were included in the resiliency study they could do without if we <br />absolutely needed to. The primary items being recommended are perimeter fencing, pivot gate <br />with a card reader, mechanical swing gate and an individual person gate. Secondary were <br />bollards, card reader, an access hatch and alarms for the overhead bay doors. <br />Councilmember Holden asked why they need three gates. <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller explained that one gate was a badge gate/swing gate so <br />you could access the tower during snow events, the second gate was a pull through gate and the <br />third was to access the area without a vehicle. The sliding gate and pedestrian gate wouldn't have <br />to be badged, they could be chained and locked with a padlock. <br />Mr. Nesler added there are two driveways into the site, that allow for large trucks and equipment <br />to have an in/out. <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller said when they are clearing snow they can get through <br />the primary gate with a badge, but in order to maneuver to clear the snow they need to pull <br />through the secondary gate. <br />Councilmember Holden asked what was on top of the eight -foot fence so people couldn't climb <br />over it? <br />Mr. Nesler said there isn't any razor wire so it's not going to stop anyone who really wants to <br />climb over but it will be more secure. <br />Councilmember Monson asked if the pivot gate cost was included the card reader. <br />Mr. Nesler explained that you could go up to the pivot gate and push a button to make it work, <br />but if you wanted to add a card reader that was an additional cost. <br />Councilmember Monson stated the recommendation from staff would be $98,000 for security. <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller agreed and said those costs should be covered under <br />the security grant, assuming they get it. <br />Mr. Nesler added that in past years the grant has been very well used, there may be other <br />communities in Ramsey County that will also apply for it. <br />Councilmember Fabel asked what the cost for mobilization/demobilization entails. <br />
