ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION-AUGUST 17 2009 23 <br /> Councilmember Grant stated that he would like to see the old City Hall site <br /> cleaned and leveled before marketing began on the site. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned if the B2 District should be added to the 2010 <br /> budget. <br /> Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated he would add some funds for <br /> preplanning of the B2 District. <br /> The Council then discussed the equipment purchases projected for 20 10. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned why the John Deere was left in the budget as <br /> this was a future need and not requested for current use. <br /> Public Works Director Hoag indicated this request was for a combination of <br /> current, future and overall need for an adequate piece of equipment to do <br /> sidewalks. He noted the Toro's are not built for the abuse of sidewalks and require <br /> a great deal of repair work. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she would like to see a justification on this piece <br /> of equipment. <br /> Mayor Harpstead indicated that language was included in the July memo but that <br /> it was omitted from this explanation. He noted that the other tractor would be sold - <br /> if the new one was purchased. <br /> Councilmember Holmes questioned if the City trails would be plowed in the <br /> winter if this piece of equipment were purchased. <br /> Park and Recreation Manager Olson indicated that the City plowed 90% of the <br /> trails but that there was a liability due to the build up of ice on the trails. She <br /> explained that although they are plowed there may be dangerous areas. <br /> 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she would like to know the status on the <br /> community-wide survey. She questioned how much was spent and how much more <br /> would need to be spent to finish the project. <br />
