. . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MAY 12, 2003 5 Mr. Brown responded the City would be responsible for cleaning out the basin to remove silt and sediment. The City would not be responsible for downstream, but he noted most of the silt and sediment should be caught in the basin. He indicated the City would not maintain the bridge. However, since the area had been redesigned, it was not necessary that a bridge be installed since the association's bridges would remain intact. Councilmember Grant encouraged the Task Force discuss the possible benefit of a pond versus a grit chamber. Mr. Brown noted the Watershed District supported this and had requested the City attempt to enlarge the pond area. Councilmember Larson stated this improvement would benefit everyone in the City with better water quality. Councilmember Holden asked if the proposed benefit was worth paying for. Councilmember Larson stated they needed to make a decision tonight and then it was up to the association as to whether or not they wanted those improvements. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Mayor Aplikowski seconded a motion to offer to make the improvements to the association if the association was willing to give an easement at no cost and if not, then they proceed with the installation of a grit chamber. Councilmember Holden stated she did not believe they should proceed with a grit chamber. Councilmember Grant stated he would support some cost for the easement. MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to amend the previous motion to strike "no cost" and insert the amount of$2,104.
