<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 30. 1998 <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone stated he is agreeable to working with the owner to take the 4,400 <br />square foot space which would provide enough space so it is not crowded. <br /> <br />Council member ApIikowski noted it would also allow the Council to move back into Arden Hills <br />to hold their meetings. <br /> <br />Mr. Post advised there is additional space available for lease which the building owner would <br />like to add as a package. If included, it would increase the square footage to 4,416, He noted <br />that this additional space would provide for more appropriate file and document storage than <br />currently exists. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated he has been resistant to moving in this direction due to the cost but he finds <br />the 24-month term more palatable because he believes the new City Hall will be available prior <br />to that expiration. He reviewed the staff analysis relating to costs incurred and noted it does not <br />address some of the exposure with the current City Hall such as air conditioning costs over the <br />summer months and possible need for repair. Mayor Probst stated if there is active use for <br />additional space he would support adding it but, otherwise, he supports leasing only the space <br />needed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski noted the extra space may also allow the Council to locate their <br />work session meetings and, perhaps, Council meetings within the City's boundaries. <br /> <br />Mr. Post stated that preliminary costs were identified with regard to demolition of the current site <br />and advised of the need to obtain bids for that work. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember ApIikowski seconded a <br />motion to direct staff to proceed with negotiating the remaining term of the Round <br />Lake Business Center space for a total of 4,416 square feet (if determined by staff <br />to be needed) on a two-year sublease basis with an option for a third year and to <br />also direct staff to proceed to obtain demolition bids for the current site. The <br />motion carried unanimously (4-0). <br /> <br />C. Non-Union Employee Bcncfit Program <br /> <br />Mr. Post explained that staff was directed to provide additional information related to the current <br />monthly contribution of $31 0 per month for non-union employees. He stated the City has not <br />formally acted on the level of contribution of benefit for non-union employees but has dealt with <br />some elements of that program. Mr. Post asked how the Council sees that contribution to be <br />addressed. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst commented on the need for contribution fairness between married and unmarried <br />employees. He explained that a true cafeteria program would offer each employee the same <br />dollar value and require them to take the health benefit unless they can demonstrate they have <br />other sufficient coverage. In that case, they could opt out and take the dollars as taxable income, <br />
