ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—May 26, 2009 25 Councilmember Grant asked that this item be brought to a work session for further discussion. Mayor Harpstead stated that there were possible budget impacts involved. Councilmember Grant asked if a street that has curb and gutter existing would be grand-fathered in regarding storm water treatment. Civil Engineer Giga stated that future projects would trigger different bio-filtration and infiltration requirements. Mill and overlay projects would not require filtration but work done at the sub-grade level or below would. Councilmember Grant clarified that this included full depth mill and overlay proj ects. Councilmember Grant stated that Xcel Energy had been surveying the high voltage towers along the railroad tracks. He stated that they were potentially going to be installing metal towers to replace the wood ones. He stated that residents have indicated that in the winter the electricity could be heard and changing to a steel structure may make these sounds louder. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that he had talked with the proj ect manager and a report would be coming to the City but there was not a timeline for the report. If residents have changes that they would like to request they should send those to him. Any changes would be two to three years out. Councilmember Grant stated that emergency response was not on the agenda as requested. He requested an update from Staff.

It is expected to be presented to the Council at the July work session with Ramsey County Emergency Management coming to the meeting. Councilmember Holden stated that she would like to have a rough draft as soon as possible. Public Works Director Hoag stated that he would like to continue this discussion offline.
