<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br />MAY 12,2003 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />Mr. Brown responded the City would be responsible for cleaning out the basin to <br />remove silt and sediment. The City would not be responsible for downstream, but <br />he noted most of the silt and sediment should be caught in the basin. He indicated <br />the City would not maintain the bridge. However, since the area had been <br />redesigned, it was not necessary that a bridge be installed since the association's <br />bridges would remain intact. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant encouraged the Task Force discuss the possible benefit of <br />a pond versus a grit chamber. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown noted the Watershed District supported this and had requested the <br />City attempt to enlarge the pond area. <br /> <br />Council member Larson stated this improvement would benefit everyone in the <br />City with better water quality. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the proposed benefit was worth paying for. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated they needed to make a decision tonight and then it <br />was up to the association as to whether or not they wanted those improvements. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Mayor Aplikowski <br />seconded a motion to offer to make the improvements to <br />the association if the association was willing to give an <br />easement at no cost and if not, then they proceed with the <br />installation of a grit chamber. <br /> <br />Council member Holden stated she did not believe they should proceed with a <br />grit chamber. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated he would support some cost for the easement. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember <br />Holden seconded a motion to amend the previous motion <br />to strike "no cost" and insert the amount of $2,104. <br />
