Tom Steele, 3570 Ridgeview Road, Arden Hills, expressed his approval of the recent Town Hall Meeting, but felt there should have been a discussion included of what the citizens of Arden Hills expect from their government. He also expressed concern with the Quad Ice Arena Agreement, stating he felt that too few people would benefit compared to the cost involved, and that the City government should concern itself more with basic services such as police and fire protection, and utility issues. Roger Aiken, 4360 N. Hamline Avenue, Arden Hills, also brought up the subject of the Quad Ice Arena Agreement, stating he also felt the interests of a select few were being served by this project. He stated the City was setting a precedent in being involved in this project. He expressed concern that a public entity was involved to such a large extent in a private business, and also stated he feels MASC controls too much of the arena. He inquired regarding the financing of this project, and Mayor Probst explained the financing terms. Mr. Aiken also expressed concern regarding the City Code that defines a fast food restaurant. He stated he was present at the January 8,1997, Planning Commission meeting, where this subject was discussed at length. He feels the current definition of fast food is overly lengthy, confusing, and vague in a number of areas.
