. . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUL Y 28, 2003 11 Mayor Aplikowski stated time was of the essence in this matter and if they had the Wyncrest Court residents come to another meeting because they were not notified ofthis meeting, this would delay the process, Councilmember Grant stated it made good sense to pump through a commercial district, rather than a residential area, Councilmember Larson stated the Council could not please everyone and $20,000 was a lot of money and it was not necessary to spend this amount when there was another solution, MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to approve the Karth Lake pumping project, and authorize the advertisement of bids and direct staff to begin the process to create a Lake Improvement District for Karth Lake, Councilmember Grant noted it was important that the lake be pumped as soon as possible and he did not want to see this project be delayed, He stated he was in favor of this solution. Councilmember Rem stated residents along Wyncrest Court had experienced difficulties and the reason to proceed with the commercial route was not just because Wyncrest Court residents did not like the route, She indicated it did not make sense to go with the shortest, cheapest route for this project. Councilmember Larson noted he was not speaking against the project, but he believed the Council should be pursuing the cheaper route, He stated he would not vote for this, but he supported the project, just not the route, Mayor Aplikowski stated while $20,000 was a lot of money, taking the whole scale of the project in mind, she believed this was a good solution and was in support of it. The motion carried (4-1 Councilmember Larson), B. Fernwood Pond Drainal!e Easement
