<br />ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br />SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />will continue to try to work with them to come up with an estimate of the <br />development within the City of Shoreview, that contributes to the Karth Lake <br />drainage. Brown indicated he has had contact with Ramsey County and has <br />received a favorable response from them on the possibility of financial support due <br />to the run-off from Lexington Avenue. <br /> <br />Brown indicated that the DNR determined that the City could pump on a <br />temporary basis as soon as they could arrange to set up the pump and pipes for that <br />purpose. Brown indicated a more permanent solution would have to be processed <br />through the DNR and would take approximately 60 days. Brown directed the <br />Council's attention to the information contained in the packet on quotes received <br />from contractors for the temporary pumping situation. The low bidder appeared to <br />be Northern Dewatering for $8,800. This was a system that essentially the City of <br />Arden Hills, Operations & Maintenance staff, would have to assemble and would <br />rent the pump to begin the draw down. The high bid included a system that was <br />completely set up by the contractor including a pump. The long-term solution <br />estimated cost of $42,500, included the purchase of a new pump and piping that . <br />could be used by the City in other operational areas. <br /> <br />Council took public comments. <br /> <br />Anne Sorensen. 1152 Amble Drive: Asked if there will be more drainage <br />coming into Karth Lake because of the Guidant development. <br /> <br />The Mayor indicated that Guidant would not impact Karth Lake as shown in <br />the sub watershed area drawn by the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Charles Amble. 1211 Amble Road: Inquired why we are looking at <br />pumping down Karth Lake at this point. <br /> <br />The Mayor responded that something unusual is happening and there is a <br />loss of lakeshore as well as landscaping and vegetation. The City has been <br />approached by some of the residents about saving lakeshore and vegetation. <br /> <br />Gary Gerding. 1236 Karth Lake Drive: Indicated he is speaking for several . <br />residents when he stated they agree with the approach for a temporary and <br />permanent solution for drawing down Karth Lake, but urged the Council to <br />seek funding from others, as well as from surrounding property owners. <br />
