ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 27, 1999 10 . Mr. Stafford offered to draft a memorandum for review by the City Council. Mr. Post suggested that the City Council not take action on the Resolution this evening. This would allow City staff to meet with represcntatives of Ramsey County and the City of Shoreview and for an agreement to be available at the time of Rcsolution approval. Councilmember Malone asked if the State of Minnesota should also be included in the agreement. Mr. Stafford stated that this project pertains to the County portion of the road only. Councilmember Larson asked if the City of Shore view needed to be included in the agreement and if Arden Hills would be asking them for anything specific. Couneilmember Malone stated that the plan for the development of the Arsenal includes a road out to County Road I near Schutta Road which will require all intersection. Ramsey County will be responsible for two legs of this intersection and the Cities of Arden Hills and Shoreview will each be responsible for one leg. Typically this would result in the cost being shared according to the responsibility of each portion of the intersection. He reiterated that the memorandum would not attempt to encumber any funds, it would simply assure that the other organizations involved are aware of certain expectations. He noted that the City of Shoreview ignored future development plans for the Arsenal when updating their Comprehensive Plan. MOTION: Couneilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to direct staff to meet with representatives of Ramsey County and the City of Shoreview in order to forge a memorandum of understanding regarding the impact offuturc dcvelopment of the Arsenal on County Road I and, with this understanding, give direction towards their willingness to cooperate with their portions of future intersection development.
