<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 17,2006 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Civil Engineer Giga reviewed the Parks and Recreation portion of the CIP for the City CounciL <br />At this time, the five year CIP includes surface improvements for the City's tennis and basketball . <br />courts and trail signage. <br /> <br />City Administrator Michelle Wolfe said that City staff will research the City's original intent in <br />purchasing new park and trail signs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson suggested that trail signage be removed from the five year CIP. He <br />recommended that the PTRC research the issue further and report back to the City Council at a <br />future date. <br /> <br />Councilmember Pellegrin said that it would be very difficult for him to support investing <br />$25,000 in new park trail signage, when pavement improvement projects are being pushed back <br />in the proposed CIP. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski recommended that trail signage be left in the proposed CIP at this time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked how many gateway signs are being proposed. <br /> <br />City Administrator Wolfe said that it was her understanding that four gateway sign locations <br />were being proposed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant said that he recalled eight gateway signs were originally proposed. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski requested a list of the eight proposed gateway sign locations be created and a <br />cost estimate for each site. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden said that she has a problem spending that much money on a gateway <br />SIgn. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski requested that City staff research less expensive options for the City Council <br />to consider regarding gateway signs. <br /> <br />Members of the City Council agreed that the proposed gateway signs should be postponed and <br />revisited at a future date, <br /> <br />Councilmember Vince Pellegrin left the meeting at 7:15 p.m. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer Kris Giga provided the City Council with an overview of the proposed public <br />works related CIP projects. Due to the City's inflow/infiltration problem with its sanitary sewer <br />system, City staff has placed an added emphasis on repairing or replacing manholes and sealing <br />sewer lines throughout the City. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of III water that is <br />entering the City's sanitary sewer system. <br /> <br />. <br />
