<br />. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />... Arden Hills Council 11 November 9, 1992 <br /> <br />that perhaps if the arsenal property were to only be used as <br />the City Hall, it may be easier to obtain. <br /> <br />Administrator Person commented that various financing <br />options are available, or the Council can wait six months <br />and conduct another referendum, She reported that many <br />citizens have expressed disappointment and volunteered to <br />assist in community awareness before another referendum. <br /> <br />Mayor Sather stated that the failed referendum is especially <br />disappointing since it failed by such a small margin. He <br />reported that the DNR has expressed an interest in the <br />arsenal property to preserve the wildlife there, but he <br />believes that a City Hall on that property might be able to <br />accommodate some of the DNR needs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone stated the referendum results were <br />surprising and he believes the failure is due to apathy and <br />lack of voter awareness. <br /> <br />Jean Lemberg, 1401 Skiles Lane, stated that Ramsey County is <br />in need of additional public works space and perhaps a joint <br />. venture could be explored. Mayor Sather and Councilmember <br />Malone said that possibility has been explored, but it <br />appears the needs of the City and the County are quite <br />different and the County prefers a more central location. <br />Mayor Sather added that a joint Arden Hills City Hall/Ramsey <br />County Service Building has also been explored, <br /> <br />Councilmember-elect, Beverly Ap1ikowski, stated that she has <br />received calls expressing disappointment; she suggested a <br />Citizen's Group be activated to help in community awareness. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks commented that another vote would likely <br />turn out differently. Councilmember Malone emphasized that <br />before a second vote, improved education of the community is <br />a necessity. Council directed Administrator Person to <br />compile a list of alternatives in this matter, <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />REVISED ZONING ORDINANCE <br /> <br />Administrator Person stated that a date of December 2 has <br />been suggested for a joint meeting between Council and the <br />Planning Commission to discuss proposed revised zoning ordinance. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br />
