<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 1 L 1997 <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />Mayor Probst inquired if this action would have implications for the Ramsey County trail under <br />consideration. Mr. Ringwald agreed there could be implications in the future. <br /> <br />B. Resolution #97-40, Authorizing a Preliminary Feasibility Report in the Matter of the <br />1998 Street Improvement Project <br /> <br />Mr. Greg Stonehouse, City Engineer, reviewed the letter from Howard R. Green Company to the <br />City dated August 8,1997, outlining the scope of the planned street improvements for 1998. He <br />stated adoption of this resolution would allow his company to proceed with the preparation of the <br />preliminary report for 1998 street improvements, as required by MN statute. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst inquired what work is slated to be done on the roads listed on the resolution. Mr. <br />Stonehouse replied the list includes seal-coating, reconstruction, and overlay. He further stated <br />West Round Lake Road is included on the schedule for now, but can be dropped if necessary. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst inquired if the City will be making arrangements with Ramsey County for their <br />share of the cost on the Stowe Avenue project. Mr. Stonehouse replied this was being done. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst inquired if the New Brighton side of Stowe Avenue was to be paid for by New <br />Brighton. Mr. Stonehouse replied the assessments on this street will be for Arden Hills residents <br />only. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks remarked the list of proposed streets seems rather lengthy for a <br />preliminary study. Mr. Stonehouse replied he took some of the information from the 1997 street <br />improvements, and preparing an aggressive list allows the City to choose the street projects as <br />they see fit while staying within the budget. <br /> <br />Councilmember Keim stated the New Brighton side of Stowe Avenue has residents with water <br />problems, i.e. wet basements, and inquired how the cost of improvements to the water main <br />would be split between New Brighton and Arden Hills. Mr. Stonehouse stated they are looking <br />at the possibility of New Brighton covering the cost of the water main and Arden Hills covering <br />the cost ofthe sanitary sewer. Those items will be resolved as part of the feasibility report. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #97-40, <br />authorizing a preliminary feasibility report in the matter of the 1998 street <br />improvement project. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). <br /> <br />C. South Water Tower, Approve Plans & Specifications <br /> <br />Mr. Stonehouse reviewed the memo from Howard R. Green Company dated August 8, 1997, <br />specifying the work being proposed for the south water tower. This work, which is being done <br />mainly for safety issues, includes the following: <br />
