<br />I . .. . <br />:, ARDEN HILLS TRUTH IN TAXATION - NOVEMBER :;0.1995 4 <br /> - <br /> City Administrator Fritsinger pointed out the allocation of salaries is based on a typical year. <br />I This allocation does not account for salaried employees that work overtime or attend meetings, <br /> etc., so this amount oftime is not tracked. <br />I Mr. Thomas Mulcahy, 3530 Siems Court, commented the 2% levy increase, although not as <br /> large as in the past, is still a consistant increase and he encouraged the City to stop the growth <br /> rate and reduce spending as much as possible. <br />I Mr. Mulcahy suggested a review of Staff productivity, not necessarily more hours out of Staff, <br /> but of how Staff's time is spent. He noted the City needs to organize so the big issues do not <br />I submerge the other issues. <br /> Mr. Mulcahy noted one area that is time consuming is the requests for information from <br />I residents. He felt residents have the right to information, but not at the expense of consuming the <br /> Staffs time so as not to conduct daily business. He suggested a response time policy in the <br /> interest of efficiency. <br />I Mayor Probst indicated the City is working on such a policy that would enable the City to <br />~ respond to the needs of the residents without hindering the daily business of the City. <br /> Mr. Aitkin inquired as to street repair and the trucks that exceed the weight limits creating <br /> cracks, etc. Mayor Probst indicated the City Engineer is rating the streets and developing a <br />I Pavement Management Program that will indicate the necessity of improvement and type of <br /> improvement. <br />I Mr. Aitkin inquired if there is a way to check roads before, during, and after development in <br /> nearby neighborhoods. Mayor Probst indicated the City cannot prohibit truck traffic. He noted <br />I the streets are reviewed by staff as much as possible. <br /> Ms. Lois Rem, 1670 Glenview Court, inquired as to State Aid and the reasoning behind the <br />I decisions to obtain or not obtain State Aid. Mayor Probst indicated most State Aid is unavailable <br /> to Arden Hills due to statutory formulas. The City applies for other State Aid when appropriate. <br /> Councilmember Malone noted Arden Hills residents contribute to funds that they are not always <br />I able to receive back in the form of various State Aids. <br />I <br />I <br />le- <br />I <br /> --.. - <br />
