ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - NOVEMBER 17, 2008 12 Councilmember Holden suggested that additional information be gathered regarding the irrigation system for Cummings Park before proceeding. The Council agreed. Mayor Harpstead indicated the next item was Hazelnut outfield fence. Councilmember Holden stated this would be a controversial item by the neighbors surrounding this park as they do not want a permanent fence in that area. Councilmember Grant felt the fence was a safety issue, but he understood that many people were opposed to adding this to the park. Mayor Harpstead indicated there was potential to reduce the expense and size of the fence but that if safety was a concern, this needed to be addressed. Mayor Harpstead explained the next item was the DNR connection and safe routes to school grant. He felt the City had grant funds available and that these connections should be exercised. The Council was in agreement. Mayor Harpstead indicated the next item was the Old Highway 10 sidewalk improvement/CP rail amounting to $225,000. He noted this expense was for the implementation. Councilmember Grant stated he would be in favor of improving the County Road E bridge before addressing this item. Mayor Harpstead was in agreement. Councilmember Holden questioned if this was a funded project by the County. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated the County did not consider this a priority and is not funded. Mayor Harpstead stated the next item was the Lake Johanna Fire Department equipment. Councilmember Holden asked for further clarification as to the details of this equipment. Councilmember McClung clarified the items this would cover and indicated the Council was already committed to these items, the new fire truck and capital improvement projects to the station.
