In the near future, the City of Arden Hills will most likely be . approached for inclusion in a joint agreement with Roseville. The Public Safety Commission supports involvement in a joint agreement at this time, and will most likely make a recommendation for Council support of the agreement. Councilmember Keim and Mayor Probst both shared their conviction that the City be immediately involved in the agreements and ordinances being considered by the Cities of Roseville and Shoreview for Lake Owasso. Due to the long-term affects of a potential agreement and/or ordinance, and possible community concerns with the issue, it was the consensus of those Councilmembers present to seek immediate involvement with the City of Roseville in their drafting of related documents, with the goal being to achieve community unanimity prior to such a document being adopted in Arden Hills. Thank You Mayor Probst recognized the volunteer labor recently provided by area youth and, on his behalf, directed staff to prepare a "thank you" to those three individuals involved in painting City fire hydrants. Public Works/City Hall Fence Repairs Councilmember Malone expressed concern that, with relocation of City Hall and the Public Works facility in the near future, no extensive amount of staff time or money be spent on repairs and/or replacement of the existing privacy fence behind City Hall. City Administrator Fritsinger assured the Council that staff is considering any manpower or . financial expenditure very carefully. Mr. Fritsinger mentioned that a safety fence would serve to address concerns regarding theft, vandalism and unauthorized refuse dumping experienced in the past.
