<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 31, 2000 4 <br /> <br /> <br />and the Ingerson neighborhood was a high priority for reconstruction for good reasons. He felt . <br />that the proposed reconstruction design must be changed. He was supportive of the notion that <br />the residents, City staff and Council review this project over the next few months in order to <br />amend the proposal and make it more amenable to the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst agreed that the City should attempt to move forward with this project. He <br />indicated that the City Council has a responsibility to the residents ofthe community to maintain <br />the existing infrastructure. He noted that the City of Arden Hills has approximately 30 miles of <br />roadway which cost approximately one million dollars per mile to reconstruct. The City has not <br />been and will not be on a program that allows the City to perform the reconstruction in an ideal <br />way. The City performs its reconstruction projects as best it can using available funds. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that the City's Pavement Management Program has been in place for <br />approximately 10 years. Historically, the City has used a worst first approach to repairing streets <br />with one street in a neighborhood being reconstructed one year and another street in the same <br />neighborhood the following year. This has resulted in construction equipment being in a <br />neighborhood for multiple years and different assessment rates for residents living next door to <br />each other. The City also must deal with the storm drainage issues in the community. The City <br />currently does not have a storm drainage system and this has not been dealt with <br />comprehensively under the worst street first approach. These issues led the City to believe that <br />dealing with street improvements on a neighborhood basis made more sense. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst agreed that the decision had been made to begin with the Ingerson neighborhood . <br />for all the right reasons. Therefore, the City should continue looking for a way to make this <br />project happen in a way that works for all those involved. Many details need to be determined, <br />such as whether the project should be accomplished comprehensively or performed over several <br />years. He felt that the best way to determine how to proceed would be with the establishment of <br />a Task Force to work with the City staff and Engineer. He suggested that the City appoint the <br />Task Force, set up the first meeting and allow the Task Force to establish additional meetings. <br />Since the City will not be able to tackle the Ingerson neighborhood project in 2000, the goal <br />should be to begin work in 200 I. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked if the Task Force would be made up of residents only and if <br />the purpose of the Task Force would be to work on the design of the Ingerson neighborhood <br />reconstruction project or to determine a process. Mayor Probst stated after going through this <br />process he hoped that the City would learn from it and use it globally in other neighborhood <br />projects. With regard to the members of the Task Force, he felt that it should include residents of <br />the neighborhood as well as other individuals, such as members of the Operations and Finance <br />Committee. He was not proposing that the Council attempt to appoint the Task Force this <br />evening and he invited those interested in the Task Force to contact City staff. He suggested that <br />at the next City Council meeting the Council formally appoint the members of the Task Force. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski stated that the Task Force should be made up of no more than 15 <br />members including representatives of the neighborhood, City staff and Council. <br /> <br />. <br />
