A <br />print version is available by request by calling 763-792-7814. The City works <br />with the Minnesota Department of Health to test drinking water for more <br />than 100 contaminants. The Consumer Confidence Report contains the <br />monitoring results from January 1 to December 31, 2023. Arden Hills had no <br />violations reported, therefore, the drinking water is considered safe. <br />City Hall Summer Hours of Operation <br />Summer staffing hours at City Hall begin Tuesday, May 28 and end Friday, <br />August 30. City Hall will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through <br />Thursday and 7:30 am to 11:30 am on Fridays. <br />Residents Can Receive EAB Tree Treatment Discounts <br />Ash trees are a common native species frequently planted as landscape or <br />boulevard trees. More than one in five metro area trees is an ash tree. All <br />ash trees are at risk of mortality from Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), an invasive <br />beetle from Asia. Rainbow Treecare - the City’s lowest bidder chosen provider <br />- will inspect your tree(s) at no cost to you to determine if a tree injection <br />treatment is the best option, and residents will receive a discount for EAB <br />tree care services from Rainbow Treecare. All residents will receive an <br />informational postcard from Rainbow Treecare about these services. Browse <br />their website rainbowtreecare.com/cities/arden-hills or contact them at <br />952-922-3810 for more information. <br />City-issued Licenses and Permits for Food Trucks No Longer Necessary <br />The City Council has adopted an amendment to the City Code removing the <br />previous requirement that food trucks and other mobile food units obtain a <br />City-issued license. Instead, all food truck vendors operating at an Arden Hills <br />business or private residence must obtain a license from Ramsey County or <br />the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. In addition, residents no longer <br />need to obtain a no-fee permit to host a food truck at their property. Please <br />remember that food trucks cannot park in the street or in the right-of-way <br />per City Ordinance. For questions or issues, please contact the City Clerk at <br />651-792-7811. <br />Garage Sales and Soliciting in Arden Hills <br />In Arden Hills, both hosting a garage sale and soliciting require a permit. To <br />apply for a no-fee garage sale permit, use the online Garage Sale Application <br />found at cityofardenhills.org/garagesale. Each garage sale is limited to three <br />days or less, and no more than two garage sales are permitted annually. All <br />signage must follow the guidelines outlined in the application to advertise the <br />garage sale. <br />Similarly, vendors that wish to go door-to-door to promote their business <br />must obtain a license from the City Clerk. They are subject to a background <br />check and must always carry their City-issued license. If a solicitor visits you, <br />they must be able to provide their license, if requested. They must also follow <br />regulations regarding hours of operation, which are limited to 9:00 a.m. to <br />7:00 p.m. every day. <br />If you have any questions, issues, or concerns with a solicitor during regular <br />business hours, please contact the City Clerk at 651-792-7811. If it is outside <br />of regular business hours or on the weekend, please call 911.
