. . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30, 1999 16 Mayor Probst asked if it would be possible to approve the no parking restrictions for only one side of the street and decide which side that will be at a later date. Mr. Stafford stated that this might be acceptable. Councilmember Larson asked how eminent the construction of the bridge was and if it would be possible to act on this resolution at the next City Council meeting after clarifying which side of the street should be restricted. Mr. Stafford stated that the intent was to begin the setup process in November and close the road in March 2000 for one year. Council member Malone stated that he agreed with the Mayor and suggested the motion include a change in the Resolution to not specify which side of the street was to be restricted. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #99-26, designating "No Parking" restrictions on one side of Cleveland Avenue from the south side of the Soo Line railroad bridge to Thorn Drive. Councilmember Rem stated that it was her understanding that the west side of Cleveland Avenue was already posted for no parking which may be why the east side was specified in the Resolution. Mayor Probst noted that he was not sure that the installation of signs was required. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Councilmember Malone pointed out that the west side of Cleveland A venue was in the City of New Brighton and the City of Arden Hills could not restrict parking on this side of the road. Mr. Stafford stated that he would clarify these concerns. D. Metropolitan Council, Parks and Open Space Commission Appointment Mayor Probst explained that five positions on the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission were open for appointment and the Metropolitan Council was asking that names be forwarded for consideration. Mayor Probst stated that he had made contact with one individual who may be interested in being appointed to the Commission. He indicated that the City of Arden Hills does have past Chairs and other candidates from the Parks and Recreation Committee that may be good candidates for this Commission. He was not sure that the City Council was required to take formal action and noted that a list of candidates would be due Friday, September 3, 1999. Councilmember Larson asked why the City of Arden Hills was part of the Stillwater District. Mr. Post stated that Districts were combined for this particular Commission. Councilmember Larson confirmed that the City of Arden Hills District was eligible for one of the open positions and would have to compete with the City of Stillwater District to fill the position. He asked if there was one position allotted to each of the Districts. Mr. Post explained that the terms were staggered and there were four positions to be filled this term and four to be filled next year.
