ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — DECEMBER 8, 2025 10 <br />Councilmember Weber asked if Staff agreed with that determination. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said in 2019 when the pump was replaced, it <br />was suggested the panel should be replaced. So we knew it was a potential need but we were <br />trying to use the old panel. Ultimately we can't. <br />Councilmember Holden said this new pump is a much higher grade compared to the old one. <br />The old one floats, this new one will not be visible. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said the actual pump is being reused. It is <br />the control cabinet and the structure that will be replaced. <br />Mr. Fisher said we are taking the existing, floatable pump and putting it in a new structure with a <br />whole new system and set up. <br />Councilmember Holden said this plan is more costly than the old way. She thinks in the best <br />interest of all residents, it makes sense to take the cheaper route. If we choose to go the more <br />expensive route, maybe the Karth Lake residents have to pay for some of it. <br />C. 2026 Committee/Commissions Liaisons and mayor Pro Tem Discussion <br />Mayor Grant asked Council their preference.
