<br />I . <br />I. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - APRIL 8. 1996 7 <br />I MOTION: Malone moved and Keirn seconded a motion to adopt Resolution No. 96-24, <br />I Accepting Bid and Authorizing Execution of Contract in the Matter of the Lift <br /> Station #6 Modifications. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). <br />I ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS <br /> Mr. Fritsinger noted that curbside recycling stuffers will be included with the City utility bill <br />I within the next two weeks. Acting Mayor Aplikowski noted that cardboard boxes can now be <br /> used for recycling. <br />I Mr. Fritsinger stated a memo had been included in the Council packet regarding the Cleveland <br /> Avenue Bridge, which was closed on April 4, 1996, due to a hole in the deck. Mr. Fritsinger <br /> stated Mr. Stafford will be meeting vvith the County to re-prioritize repairing the bridge now that <br />I it is closed, and would like to Council's input as to whether the City should recommend <br /> relocating the bridge and adding a signalized grade crossing or replacing the entire bridge at its <br />I current location. Mr. Fritsinger stated replacing the bridge would cost the City $20,000, where a <br /> signalized grade crossing would be no cost. <br />.. Council member Malone stated the railroad uses that area extensively for storage and crossing <br /> with trains. He stated while bridge reconstruction would be more expensive, a signalized grade <br /> crossing would not be a good alternative. <br />I Councilmember Hicks stated approximately 10 people attended a meeting regarding the bridge to <br /> get input from the area residents. He stated residents were concerned about decreased access if a <br />I signalized crossing was constructed. <br /> Councilmember Keirn stated she did not receive a notice of the public hearing. Mr. Stafford <br />I stated the area notified by Ramsey County was supposed to include each property owner up to <br /> two blocks east of Cleveland Avenue. <br />I Acting Mayor Aplikowski stated that bridge reconstruction would be better for the City. <br />I Councilmember Malone stated since the mounts for the bridge are existing, and the railroad is <br /> very active, a bridge reconstruction would be a better alternative than a signalized crossing. <br />I COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember Malone noted the Planning Commission meeting has been rescheduled for May <br />I 8,1996. <br />Ie Councilmember Keirn inquired who would be attending the Human Rights Committee meeting <br /> with her on April 9, 1996.
