<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Arden Hills Council <br /> <br />September 27, 1993 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />Administrator Person said there is a system for special <br />requests for overnight parking privileges. A suggestion was <br />made that citizens be frequently reminded, perhaps through the <br />City newsletter or other sources, as to parking rules and <br />procedures for special requests, Council consensus was to <br />strictly enforce the "no overnight on-street parking" rule, <br />with sensitivity to special requests. Deputies commented that <br />they are accommodating when special overnight parking requests <br />are received. Bergeron added that to simplify the overnight <br />parking request process, residents need only make a phone call <br />to the City or directly to the Sheriff's Department. <br /> <br />Council thanked the Sheriff's Department for this visit, and <br />invi ted them to forward any suggestions for improving City <br />Ordinances. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION REGARDING STAFF SPACE NEEDS <br /> <br />Administrator Person acknowledged the fact that the City has <br />postponed changes to the current City Hall site in <br />anticipation of a new City Hall, but recognized that such a <br />move may not occur for quite some time into the future. She <br />reminded the Council that working space and storage space <br />needs at the current City Hall building have been inadequate <br />for quite some time and are now at the point where they must <br />be addressed. <br /> <br />With regard to working space, Person explained that the small <br />amount of space available to accommodate City employees has <br />created cramped working quarters, and physical separation of <br />areas such as the Parks and Public Works Departments. She <br />commented that the current 1 ayout is cumbersome and ill ogica I, <br />and creates problems relative to effective communication and <br />confidentiality concerns. <br /> <br />With regard to storage space, Person stated that although <br />staff has attempted to reduce records storage, Government <br />Records and Retention guidelines demand more storage space. <br /> <br />Person identified the following options to address space needs <br />and the anticipated advantages/disadvantages of each option: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Rent temporary office space off-site. <br />Estimated to cost $1,000 per month <br />Not conducive to effective communications <br />Current Council Chambers not disturbed <br />
