DL~AfT . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - June 12,2000 2 Mr. Post stated that no speeific funding plan has been identified for this project, and a funding solution needs further discussion. . Mr. Grant clarified that the current rent on the City offices is $4,400 per month. Mr. Post stated that the third item for consideration is the construetion of monument signs on Highway 96 at 1-35W and the City Hall site. He added this item was included in the 2000 CIP, but has been pushed out to 2005 due to reconstruction of Highway 96 segment No. I (I-35W bridge to Highway 10). Mr. Post stated that the fourth item was land aequisition for completion of the City's street plan. He added costs associated to this will include land acquisition and easement costs. Mr. Post stated that the fifth item involves purehases made by the City on behalf of the Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department. He added the City will attempt to be the purchaser of capital items whenever possible rather than being billed by the Fire Department so the City will control bidding procedures. Councilmember Larson asked whether the City would hold title on equipment purehased on behalf of the Fire Department. Mr. Post stated that this would be the case for equipment purchases, adding that station improvements and maintenance would not fall into this category. Councilmember Larson stated that it should not be expected that all Fire Department capital expenses will be covered by City funds. e Councilmember Grant asked, with regard to street plan land acquisition, whether that refers specifically to land in the southeastern portion of the City. Mr. Post confirmed this. Mr. Post stated that the next area of significance is Public Works expenditures. He noted the first item is the Pavement Management Program which includes the Ingerson Neighborhood Project and the seeond phase of the West Round Lake Road project. He added that it would be unrealistic to assume that both projects could be handled simultaneously from a funding standpoint. Mr. Post stated the next item is the eonversion oflift stations to submersible pumps. He noted that a plan had been identified by the Publie Works staffto rebuild and convert existing lift stations to submersible pumps. He added that two (2) of the City's fourteen (14) stations have been converted, and the Ingerson Road lift station is next on the list as it is the highest risk lift station and the most significant in terms of flow and eriticality for other stations. Mr. Stafford stated that the Ingerson Road station handles the commercial and industrial areas near County Road B, as well as runoff from other stations. He added that the pump eonversion will be costly but the station is outdated and it is critieal within the system. Mayor Probst asked whether this area is televised. Mr. Stafford stated it was televised earlier this e year and heavy infiltration was identified.
