<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - December 8, 2008 <br /> <br />32 <br /> <br />Civil Engineer Giga stated that part of the design process would include the public <br />input process and selecting the side. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead asked if this required the side to be clarified with CP Rail or is it <br />still subject to their approval after the fact. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer Giga stated that having the amount budgeted in 2009 would allow <br />Staff and Bolton & Menk to work through the process with CP Rail. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked Mr. Thomas for his personal experience with <br />working with the Rail. <br /> <br />Mr. Thomas stated that the railroads do not have a vested interested in a trail. <br />They would be looking for something that has zero impact to the operations and <br />zero risks to their facilities.
