ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - NOVEMBER25,2O24 <br />PTRC Chair Anderson started with a recap of 2024. She provided a list showing the items that <br />have been implemented or are moving forward. The PTRC did see some improvement with <br />project management with the addition of sub-committees. Committee members who specialized <br />in certain areas joined sub-committees and focused their attention on smaller pieces. PTRC <br />advocated for park door locks and she heard they were installed. <br />Mayor Grant thought only Perry Park received door locks. <br />PTRC Chair Anderson confirmed. She noted the PTRC members spent time communicating <br />with community members and requesting feedback, specifically as it relates to Arden Oaks and <br />Freeway Park. PTRC partnered with the Lions Club to host a free city-wide event. PTRC secured <br />a hot dog stand for the Touch A Truck event. <br />PTRC Chair Anderson said that Committee Member Seemann hosted some educational <br />events. <br />Mayor Grant asked if PTRC purchased a hot dog stand. <br />PTRC Chair Anderson said they coordinated the stand as a way to enhance the City event. The <br />Committee accomplished getting Great River Greening on contract. Members continue to work <br />on Chatham and Great River Greening for habitat restoration. <br />Councilmember Holden said she has spoken to some residents about Arden Oaks who didn't fill <br />out the survey. They thought when they talked to PTRC members, their information would be <br />passed along. She thinks it undermines the survey when there is confusion regarding how <br />information is being collected. <br />PTRC Chair Anderson agrees. There have been advocacy by the PTRC to try to streamline the <br />process and make it easier for residents to provide that type of feedback. She appreciated learning <br />that and they will be aware of it with future resident contact. <br />Councilmember Holden thought it is important to tell them to complete the survey, in addition <br />to any conversation with Committee Members. <br />PTRC Chair Anderson thinks the purpose of them asking was so when they provided their <br />feedback and recommendations, they were reflecting what the neighborhood wanted. <br />Councilmember Rousseau said that is the first she's heard about confusion surrounding PTRC <br />outreach. The consultant said there were good response rates and some very good conversations. <br />PTRC Chair Anderson said members did a better job of attending the planning meetings and <br />that was helpful. She said Committee Member Loosbrock has done a lot of work relating to <br />volunteer coordination. She helped with the Easter Egg Hunt, the Crepeau Nature Reserve, <br />Cummings, the Flashlight Pumpkin Hunt, Floral and Hazelnut Parks. There was a coordinated <br />project with the Eagle Scouts at Sampson. A relationship was established with the Arden Hills <br />and Shoreview Rotary. PTRC hopes to continue collaborating with those organizations and are <br />exploring an Adopt-A-Park program. There will be a pilot program where the Rotary will adopt <br />Floral Park.
