AR-DEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL-July 27, 2009 14 9. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS Councilmember Grant stated that Staff should not rely on the Council getting last minute e-mails regarding information for the meetings. This should not be a substitute for the documents that are in the Council packets. Councilmember Grant asked Public Works Director Hoag how the City's water towers were doing. Public Works Director Hoag stated that there were no watering bans at this time. There was a pump rebuild at the beginning of the year and the towers are doing well at this time. Councilmember Holden stated that next Tuesday is Night to Unite. She stated that she had talked to Mayor Harpstead regarding the Fire Departments events. She had solicited information from five other fire departments and their events do not come out of the City's budget. Councilmember Holmes agreed with Councilmember Grant regarding the Council packets. She stated that if documents are not in the packet before the meeting then the Council does not have proper time to review them. Councilmember Holmes stated that the Council needs to have a list of activities for Night to Unite. - Councilmember Holmes stated that on August 1 there will be a park tour put on by the PTRC. This would be a good time for the Council to take a look at the City's parks and see what has been done and what needs to be improved. If anyone is interested they should contact Parks and Recreation Manager Michelle Olson. Councilmember Holmes asked if the Council should look at scheduling a work session with Jim Tolaas in order to get an update on the Highway 10 and County Road 96 project and discuss changes that may occur because of TCAAP. City Administrator Moorse stated that the County is at a point where they would like to have the City hold a public hearing regarding the noise mitigation for Arden Manor on August 3 1. He stated that the City has other issues that need to be resolved as well and these items could be discussed at either the August 10 City Council meeting or at a work session following the August 10 meeting.
