<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION MINUTES <br />MARCH 14,2005 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />Mr. Moore noted staff kept videos with voice over for each area televised that could be <br />reviewed at any time. He stated by the end of this summer the entire City will have been <br />televised. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown stated he felt comfortable with their knowledge of the sanitary sewer system. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski asked if they had experienced any savings when they did the sump pumps. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown replied he could not say precisely, but he believed there was some savings. <br /> <br />Mr. Moore noted staff was very diligent in maintaining the lines in certain problem areas in the <br />City and there was a cost savings by doing this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked on a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being the highest, where did the <br />City rate. Mr. Brown replied in general, there had been a few areas he would rate one and two <br />with Edgewater being a one. As a general grade on the pipe, looking at the structures, probably <br />7s and 8s. He noted he was not as certain with the water line because that was buried and was <br />less accessible. He stated he would be more concerned with the southern part of the City <br />because of the materials used. He noted with watermain, corrosion was an issue and one way to <br />combat that was to use plastic, which was not available until a few years ago. He indicated he <br />could not assign a grade to the water system. <br /> <br />Mr. Moore noted claims tended to be in sanitary sewer and the Minnesota League of Cities had <br />policies regarding televising the sanitary sewer lines. He stated after this summer, there would <br />not be a single line in the City that had not been televised. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski asked what the City should tell the residents who had breaks in their line as <br />to how they could maintain the line. Mr. Moore replied they needed to be informed to have <br />good insurance. He noted a lot of tree roots get inside of homeowners lines and recommended a <br />routine jetting and having roots cut out. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski suggested an article regarding how residents should maintain their lines be <br />placed in a City newsletter at some point in the future. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated one of the purposes of this discussion was to decide if the <br />Capital Improvement Plan had the right set of priorities with the sewer and water system. He <br />indicated the next step should be looking at the Capital Improvements Plan again and <br />determining whether or not they had the appropriate items listed as to what needed to be done in <br />the next five years. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she would also like to see what the proposed costs would be. <br /> <br />Councilmcmbcr Grant asked if staff had looked at doing three lift stations instead of two lift <br />stations for a cost savings. Mr. Brown replied they had not, but this was a possibility. <br /> <br />5 <br />
