Person, city :Administrator W MTE: January 15, 1993 , SUBJECT: city JIdm;n;strator's Info~tion For CO\mCil Worksession MeetiIYJ of 1/20/93 I. ACl'ION NEEDED BY CITY <X>UNCIL: No.3. regarding TIF Project - F\lnding Discussions. This item has been postponed for further discussion. Request Council meet at 6:00 p.m. on 1/25/92 to review this itein. No.7. regarding sidewalk Snow Removal Policy Review. Following the Friday snowfall several weeks ago, it has been requested by several residents that the City clear the sidewalk on the Arden Hills side of Lexington Avenue. since the City does not have the equipment available to properly clean sidewalks, the City of Shoreview was contacted to assist in this matter on a short- tenn basis. However, the City of Arden Hills reJOClVed the snow. . FUrther discussion will be requested during the Worksession regarding whether the Arden Hills City Council wishes to limit the service of cleaning sidewalks to the east side of Lexington or whether further sidewalks will be cleaned or no cleaning at all. This is in anticipation of additional residents requesting this service. There will be potential costs of this service available at that time f= your review and detennination. No.8. regarding Rental of City Hall. From time to time, requests are made for use of the city Hall for different reasons. These requests have been withdrawn for lack of privacy, lack of space, lighting, etc. The staff reviewed comparable spaces and potential costs to the city. As you are aware, one of the major issues is when others come into City Hall during other than hlsiness hours, security is a risk due to the numbers files that cannot be locked away. Another option would be to hire an outside security company or to use internal staff. If current enployees were used, the. cost to the City would rarx:Ie from $10-27/hour. The City may choose to pursue some rei.mJ::urseJnent from the city fl.U1ds. This would reduce cost to the renter, however, the taxpayer assumes some of these costs. It must be noted that many of these requests are not requested by city taxpayers. .
