I I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 15 1996 7 t' Larry McDonald reviewed multi-housing strategies and their work at the mobile home park to meet with those residents who need assistance in working with the owner. He updated the I Council regarding their attel11pt to eliminate graffiti in the community and at local schools. Mr. McDonald reviewed the Mounds View High School's past philosophy to just remove graffiti and their new stand to take an active role in preventing it in the first place. I Mayor Probst expressed his appreciation to the volunteers in this program and commented on the need for continued cooperative efforts to prevent crime. He indicated support for a zero I tolerance with regard to graffiti. I Sheriff Fletcher commented that should the new megawatt radio system become a reality, it will not be "on the financial backs" of the contract cities. I Mayor Probst requested that officers visit Council meetings on a period basis (quarterly) to introduce thel11selves. I Mr. Fritsinger explained the reason officers are asked to drop off the Council's meeting packets is to provide an opportunity for Councilmembers to become familiar with officers who work in the City. Ie ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS I Mr. Fritsinger updated the Council regarding the status of the 1996 street project and slow progress made by the contractor. He stated because of this, the contractor has been placed on notice that penalties will be assessed if the project is not completed by this Friday, October 18, I 1996 (which includes placing the second lift of bituminous). Mr. Stafford stated he would not want blacktop to be laid if the tel11perature falls below 40 degrees. I Mr. Fritsinger updated the Council regarding prohlems with the relationship between utility companies and residents during City street projects. He explained the City does attempt to I address these issues at preconstruction meetings; however, problems occurred again this year. Mr. Fritsinger infoIDled that residents view the work being done as a "city" project but the City has no control over the utility companies. He advised staff will continue its efforts with the I various utility cOl11panies. Due to the on-going rights-of-way discussion with US West, Mayor Probst inquired ifthe City I should address such responsibilities of work within public rights-of-way through the codification process. Mr. Fritsinger stated there are certain things that could be required (restoration) which could be included in the Code. He concurred that as the codification proceeds, this issue should r be addressed. I . j ~sc S -"'{l.:)' t .,. ~.!c:lS !nce th 0 Illak receilo Air.
