Minutes of Special Joint Council Meeting Village of Arden Hills Saturday, September 13, 1986 - 9:30 a.m. Village Hall Call to Order Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the meeting was called to order at 9:35 a.m. Roll Call Present: Mayor Robert Woodburn, Councilmembers Nancy Hansen, Dale Hicks, Gary Peck, Tom Sather None Shoreview - Mayor Richard Wedell, Councilmembers David McGraw, Robert Weyandt; North Oaks Councilmember James Burak; City Manager Gary Dickson, Clerk Administrator Charlotte McNiesh, and Paul Malone . Absent: Also Present: Fourth Fire Station At the meeting on August 23, the consensus was that in order to serve the southern area of both cities, it would be desirable to locate a station on or near Lexington Avenue between 694 and County Road E. Lists of potential sites for a fourth station in Shoreview or Arden Hills were reviewed. After discussion, Gary Dickson and Charlotte McNiesh were requested to secure preliminary information on availability and land costs for two potential sites in Shoreview and two sites in Arden Hills. If Shoreview and Arden Hills pursue a joint venture for the fourth station, a Joint Powers Agreement will be required, a draft of which should be prepared by Shoreview Attorney Filla and Arden Hills Attorney Lynden. It was stated that it would be desirable to have the station operable by mid-1987. Mayor Woodburn expressed concern about how much the Village can afford to pay and felt that the needs and levels of service desired for Arden Hills may not have been studied sufficiently. He noted that LJVFD is planning to expand Station #1; Consultant Quirk has recommended that a station, more centrally located in Arden Hills, is needed to improve response time. Councilmember McGraw said Shoreview knows what level of service it wants, and will build the fourth station in Shoreview by itself, at a different location, if Arden Hills doesn't want to participate. Councilmember Hicks requested that Planner Miller check availability of land in Arden Hills, in the central area recommended by Consultant Quirk. In further discussion, it was noted that all three cities need ladder service, that Station No. 4 would not need training facilities, that if there is a joint venture, bills would be processed in the city where the station is located. I Parkway Concept for STH 96 Mayor Wedell suggested that since STH 96 links three regional parks, the cities of White Bear, North Oaks, Shoreview, Arden Hills, Vadnais Heights and New Brighton should explore the possibility of a parkway concept. Joint Council Meeting Date The next meeting will be Saturday, September 27, 8:30 a.m. at Arden Hills.
