<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - NOVEMBER 17, 2008 <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead continued with the CIP indicating the next item was erosion <br />correction on Old City Hall trail. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag explained there was an erosion issue on the trail <br />south of Old City Hall where the embankment of the trail was crumbling. He <br />indicated this project was driven by the neighboring resident but would need a <br />financial investment to be done correctly. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead questioned if the $20,000 would correct this problem or be a <br />patch. Staff indicated this would properly correct the problem on the embankment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden indicated she was in favor of correcting the trail without <br />spending a fortune on the neighboring property. The Council agreed. <br /> <br />Finance Director Iverson explained the next item was technology and office <br />equipment to replace the computers as they become outdated, along with a color <br />printer. She noted the lease was up on the copier in 2009 and that a change may be <br />made to a color copier to allow the City to print in color, along with making black <br />and white copies. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead indicated the next item was the repair and repainting of the <br />south water tower. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag noted this has been delayed for several years and <br />should be completed in 2009. He eXplained the City logo would not be added to <br />the water tower but that maintenance and repair would be completed. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag indicated the City Hall parking lot would need to be <br />addressed and asked if they Council was still in favor of expanding the lot if the <br />elections would no longer be held on site. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding this item and Councilmember Grant suggested <br />expanding the sidewalk to the corner and that this walkway be lit to allow for <br />additional parking and that the current lot not be expanded. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead questioned if the lift stations were going to be worked on in <br />2009. He noted stations 1, 11, 12 and 13 were on the work list. Discussion was <br />held regarding the lift stations. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead had staff review the needed equipment for 2009. <br />
