ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 28, 2025 3 <br />Mayor Grant asked if this item needed to come back to the Council at a future worksession <br />meeting. <br />Councilmember Monson stated she did not believe this was necessary and asked that staff be <br />directed to send a letter to the County requesting additional bollards be installed along Lake <br />Johanna Boulevard as a pilot program for safety purposes. <br />Councilmember Rousseau indicated she would support providing staff with direction at this <br />meeting. <br />Councilmember Holden commented when the bollards were first installed, the County said they <br />were going to be extended once they figured out how the glue worked because the bollards were <br />falling over. <br />Public Works Director Swearingen explained this was what he was told by the County. <br />However, after several weeks the bollards were still not installed. <br />Councilmember Holden recommended staff send a letter to the County requesting the additional <br />bollards. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a <br />motion to direct staff to draft a letter to Ramsey County requesting additional <br />bollards be installed to the south on Lake Johanna Boulevard for safety <br />purposes with the entire City Council signing this letter. A roll call vote was <br />taken. The motion carried (5-0). <br />B.
