ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 13. 1998 4 . Councilmember Aplikowski noted the indication that most who received this were favorable. Mr. Lynch and Mr. Costello indicated this is correct. Council member Malone stated those who live around the lake were included in the process. He asked if public notice of the meeting should be posted at the boat launch since the lake is a public resource. Mr. Stafford stated this could be done. Councilmember Malone asked if the public hearing meeting should be concurrent in the two cities (Arden Hills and Roseville) since it would not allow residents to attend both meetings. Mr. Stafford advised that the meeting schedules do fall on the same date. He explained that Roseville was going to invite their residents to their meeting. Mayor Probst stated the view of the residents on the lake is often different than those coming in to use the lake via the public access. He stated he does not see any issues with it personally but the ability to provide fair notice is important. Mayor Probst suggested a sign board be erected in conjunction with Roseville to notify of the public hearing date. Mr. Fritsinger stated this could be done and advised that the next meeting date which does not coincide with Roseville would be August 31, 1998. Mayor Probst asked ifthere is a timing issue involved. Mr. Lynch stated it was suggested the meetings be held separately but at the same time. He suggested a joint session be held at . Roseville rather than have the meeting split into two locations. Councilmember Malone noted this would have to be published and officially approved by the DNR so it will not take effect until next season. In the interest of fairness, he stated he would feel better if a significant effort is made to notify people so he supports scheduling the public hearing on August 31,1998. Mr. Costello advised that the Association is supportive of this and, at this time of the season, he does not think there is any particular problem with a two week delay. He explained that while Roseville has rules for lake usage, Arden Hills has not had rules and it is important to have a cohesive set of rules for enforcement. MOTION: Council member Keim moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #98-48, Calling for Public Hearing, Lake Josephine Ordinance and Joint Powers Agreement on August 31,1998 and to direct the posting of a sign to advertise this public hearing meeting. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Mayor Probst asked staff to contact Roseville to see ifthey are willing to share the cost to post this sign and advertise both public hearing dates. Mr. Fritsinger stated staff will and advised that a minimum ten-day notice should be followed for the public hearing. .
