ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—September 14, 2009 26 9. Council Comments and Requests(continued) Councilmember Holden stated that in the Admin Update there was statement that says if someone does their own work on the I&I they were automatically reimbursed $100. She asked where this came from. Public Works Director Hoag stated that there is a self labor rate of $100. This was part of the ordinance. Mayor Harpstead clarified that the City reimburses 50% of the cost. Councilmember Holden stated that Mn/DOT was changing the signage on Hamline Avenue so there is no left turn into Eide Circle. She asked if this information had been sent to the residents. Public Works Director Hoag stated that this information was sent to the residents. Councilmember Holden stated that she had been asked to give a presentation to the Arden Hills/Shoreview Rotary on September 15, 2009. She stated that Community Development Director Lehnhoff would be going with her. - Mayor Harpstead stated that the mayor of Shoreview was looking at the housing at the other end of County Road E, on the east end. They began the preliminary discussions of moving the retail strip to straighten the road. This may mean that Shoreview would be more interested in what Arden Hills does in the B2 district/ County Road E corridor. - Councilmember Holden stated that the traffic from the State Fair was really bad this year. Garbage being left by people was a big issue as well as tailgating in neighborhoods after the fair ended. She stated that the church was reimbursed for parking during the fair and the City should require them to take responsibility for the garbage clean up. Councilmember Holden stated that in review of the Fire Department budget she noted that they had requested $5000 for a television. It was discussed previously that the budget amount is in the contract and if they do not spend the entire amount then the excess funds go into their general fund and the City is not reimbursed. Mayor Harpstead stated that the Fire Department meeting is on Wednesday, September 16. He stated that he would follow up and provide an accounting on televisions.
