ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 11,1994 5 . can be instructed to take action for a Court order requiring compliance, with penalties, court costs and City costs related to such action to be the responsibility of Arden Manor. Lynn Franzen, 2015 Todd Drive, stated that it would be wonderful if residents could give their opinion. She would accept an alternative plan because her children are too small to use the pool alone.

Discussion: Filla noted that it will be difficult for staff to respond to any proposed alternative, if that is the choice, unless it is received with sufficient time for . review prior to the next Council meeting. He requested that an alternative
