<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MAY 27. 1997 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />. business owner. Mr. Ringwald further stated the deadline for landscaping on this property was <br />May 31,1997, and it appeared it would not be accomplished by that date. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A brief discussion ensued regarding sale of private property (boats, cars, etc.) on right-of-way <br />property. Mr. Ringwald stated the City was working with MNDOT and Ramsey County in <br />adding grass and signs to the property so it does not appear to look like a parking lot. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski briefly discussed the welfare reform meeting she attended in <br />Ramsey County. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked for discussion regarding the proposed jail site in Shoreview. <br />Mayor Probst suggested that Council not take a formal position, but could discuss this matter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski stated that while a multi-service center could be an asset to the area, <br />she did not see how the jail could be. She further stated constituent concerns regarding the <br />release of felons into the area. <br /> <br />Council member Malone commented from a business standpoint, the proposal did not seem to be <br />feasible, as two separate facilities with separate staff would be difficult to maintain. He stated <br />the Council could take action to support the Sheriffs Department, which was against this <br />proposal. He further stated since a jail is a temporary holding site, the release offelons was not a <br />significant issue. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst inquired regarding the Army's plans to switch surrounding residents from wells to <br />City water. Mr. Ringwald stated the City has had no recent discussions with the Army on this <br />matter. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated the City should go ahead with the contemplated purchase of replacement <br />computer equipment this year, and not wait for occupancy of new facilities. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated he would be able to attend the Day-in-the-Park if needed. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst discussed CPI concerns regarding the proposed trail along its property, and <br />suggested the trail be placed where it would make the most sense to do so. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated he would not be able to attend the League of Minnesota Cities meeting in <br />June; however he encouraged any other Councilmembers to do so if their schedules allowed it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks inquired if the Arden Hills Texaco was required to deposit money <br />contingent on the landscaping being completed. Mr. Ringwald stated he was unsure, but that he <br />would investigate further. <br />
