. . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 14,2004 8 Council member Holden inquired why no Councilmember was aware of the program if the City has contributed so many years. Councilmember Larson said he remembered it being approved as a consent item in the past. Councilmember Rem stated she would like to see it as a separate agenda item in future years. She said one reason it should be discussed publicly is that residents on other lakes should be aware that there is a goose removal program and the City could perhaps be of assistance to them. Councilmember Larson stated this should not be a line item budget item. He said it is part of an expenditure that was approved as a consent item. He said he would agree with it being an agenda item to approve the $500 contribution. Ms. Wolfe explained that rather than administratively paying the $500, it was thought the Councilmembers should be on board with it. She said that in the event there are similar requests, staff would like to know how to handle them based on the Council's discussion for this item. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Mayor Aplikowski seconded a motion to budget for the Lake Johanna Goose Removal program and continue to approve for this specific project until additional requests are received (if ever) and then re-evaluate with the City Council at that time. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). 7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. 2005/2006 Pavement Management Program Mr. Moore presented the 2005-2006 Pavement Management Program, noting at the April 19, 2004 Work Session, Staff proposed a program for consideration. The action requested is to confirm the 2005 PMP project will be the Red Fox/Grey Fox neighborhood and the 2006 PMP project will be the Ridgewood/Siems neighborhood. He said if this is correct, the notification process will begin. Councilmember Grant said he drove through the Red Fox/Grey Fox neighborhood and noted it is in poor condition. In addition, he drove through Snelling Avenue south of Lindey's Park and found that area to be in poor condition as well. Mr. Moore said that area was discussed at the work session. At that time, he explained, it was decided that the commercial district be upgraded next year. He said this allows Staff and Council to have more time before going into the residential areas Mr. Brown said Snelling Avenue is being put in a floating project within the neighborhood sections. He said he is aware that it is in poor shape. Ms. Wolfe added the reasoning is that the City is trying to repair streets prior to their need of complete disrepair and total reconstruction. Snelling Avenue south of Lindey's Park is in need to total reconstruction, which can be done next year".
