<br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 8,1994 4 <br />. is the foundation of how to build a community. It is a very powerful fundraising tool to be <br /> able to tell other groups that year after year 10 cities continue to support the program. He <br /> respectfully requested that Arden Hills continue its support in the coming year. <br /> Ms. Andrews stated that the Business and Professional Women's Group has agreed to <br /> contribute $5,000. At this time, there is no commitment for the other half of the <br /> contribution. <br /> Hicks stated that the City has been able to support this program indirectly but has not had to <br /> budget it because of the charitable gambling groups who have contributed on the part of the <br /> City from their profits. He urged the Council to make this a budget item if another group is <br /> not found to contribute the balance of the donation. <br /> Aplikowski asked who made the contribution last year. Ms. Andrews answered, Concordia <br /> Singers, who no longer have a gambling license. Other groups have indicated preference for <br /> their own charities. <br /> Person noted that gambling profits have decreased, and this item is coming mid-year when <br /> many groups have already set their budgets for 1994. <br /> Ms. Andrews stated that NYFS is approaching the Board of Government Innovation and <br />. Cooperation, which is a state funding source to try to obtain funding for the new expansion. <br /> NYFS may need to call upon member City Administrators to sign the grant application. <br /> Councilmembers agreed there would be no problem with that request. <br /> Mayor Probst thanked Mr. Ciemia, Ms. Andrews and Mr. Maschka for their presentation. <br /> This funding request will certainly be added to the City's budget considerations. <br /> ARDEN MANOR ALTERNATIVE PLAN PRR'i:ENTATION AND REVIEW FOR <br /> SPECIAL USE PERMIT <br /> Fritsinger referred Councilmembers to a letter from the mobile home park owner and <br /> manager proposing to reopen the swimming pool. Repairs have been made, and there is <br /> water in the pool as of today. The owner is waiting for Ramsey County health officials to <br /> inspect it before opening. If the swimming pool opens, Arden Manor will be in compliance <br /> with this portion of the special use permit. <br /> Hicks expressed regret that no one from management was present at the meeting and that <br /> there seems to be a communication problem with the Council. Operation of the swimming <br /> pool was a condition of the special use permit that was not imposed by this Council. <br /> Mr. Don Myers, stated that he has lived in Arden Manor for 17 years. He is a member of <br />. APAC, a go-between organization between residents and management. Many of the children <br />
