I I I -- " ~M.'" . Minutes of Regular Council Meeting Page five February II, 1985 Cable TV Woodburn stated that the Village of Mounds View is rapidly reaching the point where it will be approving the Franchise Amendment for Cable TV; Arden Hill's continued non-approval means delay of payment of Group W's monieS to North Suburban Cable Commission. Community sentiments seem to indicate it would be wise not to be seen as lone dissenter in passage of this amendment. Froslid, representing the Cable TV Advisory Committee, stated this Committee had withheld recommending earlier approval because of some questions it had as to whether construction was complete as required by November 12 (a tech- nical report furnished to the Committee did not provide sufficient information to determine this), and had felt there was no advantage to be gained in approving the amendment, and possible disadvantages. Given information he has now, he would personally recommend approval. A poll of this committee's members conducted February 8 and 9 indicates 6 approving acceptance, 2 unavailable, and 1 not recommending approval. Hicks asked if approving the amendment would jeopardize our ability to take legal actions against Group W for non-performance in the future. Actions before November 12 construction completion date could not be contested, any later still could be. Motion was made by Hicks, seconded by Hansen, that Council adopt Resolution No. 85-10, RESOLUTION APPROVING CABLE COMMUNICATIONS OFFERING AMENDMENT AGREEMENT NO. 1 AND AUTHORIZING MAYOR AND CLERK-ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE SAME ON BEHALF OF THE CITY. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) It was moved by Hansen, seconded by Hicks, that Council dispense with reading of Ordinance 233 and adopt Ordinance No. 233, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 226, THE CABLE COMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE, BY ALTERING THE PROVISIONS THEREIN RELATING TO CHANNEL CAPACITY, TWO-WAY CAPACITY, FACILITIES, SPECIAL CHANNEL AND ACCESS REQUIREMENTS, CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION DATE, AND RATE CHANGE PROCEDURE. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0). Motion was made by Sather, seconded by Peck, that Council grant approval to publish Ordinance Summary. Motion. carried unanimously. (5-0). Dumpster Screenin!! Plan, Arden Plaza City has been working with Arden Plaza for over a year to develop an accepta- ble screening plan for dumpsters in the rear of the plaza. C. G. Rein is now proposing to screen each store's dumpster individually with fencing as most economical plan. McNiesh stated that original landscape plans called for large dumpster at one end that would be screened. As tenants moved in, each put in its own trash container, and the area became unsightly and badly maintained. Since complaints have been made to C. G. Rein, this area has been cleaned up considerably. Motion was made by Hicks, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve the plan and determine this screening for eight dumpsters in the back of Arden Plaza to be in concert with the Zoning Ordinance for screening dumpsters. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0). En!!ineerin!! Report re RCWD Grant Application to Improve Water Qualitv in Lon!! Lake Chain Council reviewed Christoffersen letter, 2/4/85, on this subject, and sug- gested joint meeting with Roseville Council since some of the work included may be desirable to Arden Hills. Hicks noted plan includes installation of public boat ramp on Lake Josephine, asked if DNR has authority to do this without consent of adjoining villages. Woodburn stated they probably do, but historically have chosen not to exercise it, prefer Village concurrence in decisions of this nature. Hicks also questioned philosophy of applying for grant money "because it's available", suggested meeting would be desirable to explore need for all of these improvements. Hansen stated she felt the dredging is probably needed, questioned need of chemical treat- ment and fish restocking. Hicks noted Oasis pond (suggested for dredging)
