, MINUTES CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA WORKSESSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING . DECEMBER 21,1992 4:30 p.m. . CITY HALL CALL TO ORDERIROLL CALL Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Sather called to order the Worksession City Council meeting at 4:30 p.m. Present: Mayor Sather (arrived at 5:30 p.m.), Councihnembers Paul Malone, Dale Hicks, and Councihnember-Elect Beverly Aplikowski. Absent: Councilmembers JoAnn Growe and Thomas Mahowald. Also present were: Clerk Administrator, Dorothy Person; Public Works Superintendent, Dan Winkel; City Accountant, Terry Post; Engineers, Terry Maurer and Mark Graham; and Citizen's Committee members Jean Lemberg and Ray McGraw. Due to the lack of a quorum initially, general review was made of the Pavement Management Program, Storm Water Utility, and T.H. 51. Malone asked the Engineer to review Floral Avenue which contains cracks in the surface. The question was if it is a bigger problem, i.e.; a base soil problem. Terry Maurer will review the situation. Keithson Road residents have asked about the current temporary patching and what . long-term plans are being made to address the issue of the road. The Engineer indicated that the current patching is only a temporary solution and there would be some review of the road base and review the possibility of sealcoating in the future. He indicated further that he and Public Works Superintendent Winkel indicated that compaction is in the area of the utility lines probably due to recent years of a dry spell. The road surface is 5 years old. In Spring, 1993, the Engineer will be reassessing this Issue. Storm Water Utility was reported to be worked on. The Engineer indicated that he and the City Attorney are concerned that public information be given prior to any finalizing of a plan. He suggested that information be brought to the January 4, 1993, organizational Council meeting with a tentative hearing in March. MOTION: At the January 25 meeting, the City Engineer will present a draft of the Storm Water Utility with information to be reviewed by City Council anticipating information in the February Newsletter and potentially setting a public hearing in March with possible implementation at beginning of the 2nd quarter in 1993. T.H. 51 - The four options presented by the County were previously reviewed. The Engineers reported that the frontage is the most expensive and possibly not an option due to the wetlands that would need to be crossed. The Engineer had looked at the . lighting of the intersection of T.R. 51 and Old Snelling as the most reasonable alternative. He indicated that MnDOT would be providing 50 percent of the funding with the County and the City providing one-fourth of the funding each unless more issues addressed such as Glenhill Road being connected.
