Engineer Brown stated that a water tower may be needed in the future, but hopefully future <br /> developers will pay for this expense. <br /> Finance Director Siddiqui mentioned that inflationary cost increases must be considered when <br /> creating a CIP. <br /> Councilmember Larson noted that a CIP is only a five year snap shot for the City. <br /> Mayor Aplikowski believes that the City must sell the justification for the utility rate increase to <br /> the public. <br /> Engineer Brown suggested to the City Council that they set a yearly dollar limit on CIP projects. <br /> Councilmember Grant raised concerns that during the past 3 years Arden Hills roads were not <br /> chosen solely on the basis of PCI rating.
