e e e ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 29, 1999 DRAFT 17 Councilmember Malone asked if the issues of the lease are substantial. Mr. Fritsinger stated that the biggest issues will be the term and control. There are some minor site plan issues related to the fence and the grading of the property. Mr. Fritsinger noted that there had been a request for a retro-session and, at this point, the City of Arden Hills has not responded. He suggested that this might need to be finalized prior to addressing the lease. Mayor Probst asked if it would be possible to enter into a lease agreement and work out the identified issues afterwards. Mr. Fritsinger stated that the difficulty would be whether or not the Federal Statute would allow this sort of contract. Councilmember Larson confirmed that if the Council ends up having to wait until the next Council meeting on April 12, 1999, to take action, this would leave two months for the City Hall bid process. Mr. Fritsinger stated that this was correct. Mayor Probst suggested that, if by the end of the week, Staff found there are issues, which require immediate action, the Council can call a special meeting within two days to take any necessary action. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she had spoken with Mr. Kelley regarding trash pick-up and he has indicated that he wants this to be done on one day only. Mayor Probst stated that the North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition continues to meet every other month and an annual report had been included in the Council packets. He indicated that things are going well and there is a great deal of interest in what the Coalition is doing. He offered to provide more complete information if any of the Councilmembers required it. Mayor Probst stated that the most significant development with the I35W Corridor Coalition was that it received the $125,000 grant for GIS software and data. Mayor Probst stated that the City received a request from the Roseville area High School to participate financially. The High School is hosting the annual National Association of Student Council Conference in June. The estimated cost is $320,000 and they are looking for sponsors to contribute in some way. Action needs to be taken on this by April 30, 1999, and Mayor Probst suggested that Staff include this in the agenda for the April 12, 1999, City Council meeting. Mayor Probst stated that he had received an invitation for a groundbreaking ceremony for a church in Shoreview. Mayor Probst stated that he had received information from a company selling storm water treatment control products. He passed the information to Staff for consideration. Mayor Probst stated that he has been encouraged to participate in the National Mayors Conference, however, he will not be attending.
