. . Minutes of Regular Council Meeting Dee, 14, 1981 Ade Ie Anderson said she feels a road th rough the park will have an affect on aes the ti cs and planning of the park. A reaident from the area said he doesn't believe 10% of the area residents know Floral Park exists; a road would mske the park more accessible to peop Ie in the area and more visable as well. Johnson moved, seconded by Hollenhorst, that Council approve the 16 lot Preliminary Plat of Royal Hi 11s wi th Royal Lane extended to the eas t and south to Floral Drive, and modification of the park in such a manner that the southwest corner be hard surface for parking and/or play area; existing hard-surface area be changed to green area. Motion did not carry (Johnson, Woodb urn voting in favor; Hollenhorst, McAllister voting in opposi tion.) (2-2) . . I twas suggested that Council could approve the plat and authorize the engineer to proceed with the feasibility study based on the 16 lot layout, with various road endings. After, dis cuss ion, Clerk Administrator was requested to contact Councilman Wingert relative to his attending a special or regular Council meeting. Hollenhorst moved to tab Ie action on the plat. Mo tion was second- ed by Johnson and carried unsnimously (4-0) . Report on Ci viI Defense Siren (Deferred to a later meeting) Youth Service Bureau Ch ris CI auson, Don Severson, Willis Warkentien and Carol Seiden- kranz described the work of the Youth Service Bure au and requested Arden Hills financial support for delinquency prevention of the village 12 to 18 year olds. It was explained that Arden Hills youth can only participate in the Bureau if the Village partic- ipates in the funding. I twas explained that the Youth Se rvi ce Bureau helps prevent youth from becoming~accused personstl; a large number of parents have Ii tt Ie interest in correcting a child, if they have to be come in- volved; Youth Bureau will work with youth, without the parents. I twas noted that Village residents appreciate the job pool which the Youth Bureau developed to provide jobs for youth making re s t i- tution possible. I twas explained that Arden Hills youth and paren t are told they can't participate in the Bureau because it is not supported by Arden Hi 11s; e i gh t other municipalities pay for the service which is a cooperative effort. It was noted that, in bad economic times >> there is more need for the Youth Service Bureau - more crime, more alcohol use, more theft, child abuse, chemical dependency. Clauson asked Council to make a conscientious effort to support the bureau in its activities: reported 90%of those referred to the bureau have behaviors that could be provided service and 80% of the s e do not reappear in court. In discussion of fees, it was s tate d that four years ago, no fees were charged; now use a sliding fee scale: people who do not have . ab iIi ty to pay, do not pay; bureau is 50% funded by County and Slate, and 50% by Municipalities and clienta; YSB is a non-profit cooperative organization; not a private agency. City pays a ce r- tain percent of the CDS ts ; objective is to provide service to that city, not to cities that do not participate in a percent of the costs. Hollenhorst stated she would like the Village to support the pro- gram. Concern was expressed relative to this service being a function of government; if it is, why not help with senile and alcohol problems as well - don't know when to draw the line; also of concern was the County's bene fi t for its participation in co s t s , Arden Hi lIs is part of Rams ey County. Council de fe rred action to a 1982 Council meeting. -6-
