ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 30,1999 DRAFT 18 number 15. Mr. Post stated that the basis was due to the fact that the last time this position was . filled there had been about 50 applications and 15 candidates seemed a reasonable number to consider.

He would prefer that the number be reduced to a manageable number. Mr. Post concurred. Mayor Probst noted that staff was recommending the week of October 4, 1999 for the first interviews and the week of October 18, 1999 for the second interviews. Councilmember Malone suggested that the first interviews be conducted on October 4th and 5th, or October 20th and 21 st, with the second interviews being conducted the week of October 25th.

Mr. Brown had some suggestions that the City Council would explore in more detail at the next Council Worksession. Mr. Post noted that the City received a petition from the property owners on Old Highway 10 regarding the extension of the City water line to these residences.

With regard to the October Council Worksession, Mr. Post stated that he had two agenda items he would like included. These are subsequent to the I35W Corridor Coalition making its presentation to the Metropolitan Council in early October. The two agenda items were: 1. The City Council's direction regarding a recommendation to Ramsey County for the Highways 96/1 0 intersection. The Coalition and the Metropolitan Council may impact the City's proposal for the triangle area. The City received a petition stating, if there is work to be done at the Highways 96/10 intersection, residents on Old Highway 10 and Lakeshore Place implore the City Council to consider a condition of approval that a sound barrier on the east side of Highway lObe constructed. e 2.
