ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—September 28, 2009 26 <br /> 9. Council Comments and Requests (continued) <br /> City Administrator Moorse asked if the Mayor was referencing the ISO Rating. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated that this relates to ISO Ratings and response times. <br /> City Administrator Moorse stated that he had talked with the Fire Chief regarding <br /> the ISO Rating. The Fire Chief indicated that when they have two stations that are <br /> staffed 24 hours a day that will substantially strengthen the Department in relation <br /> to the ISO Rating. The Fire Chief was not sure if it would improve the rating but it <br /> would not negatively affect the rating. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated one of her main concerns was the train tracks on <br /> Victoria. The Fire Department may be limited with only one station that can come <br /> to Arden Hills. She asked how the time it takes to come from Hudson Road all the <br /> way west or south was built into the response rate. <br /> Councilmember McClung stated that he understands that it is complicated to do <br /> but he would not vote for any plan that he does not fully understand, and if he has <br /> not seen the analysis of what exactly it will do to the ISO Rating. <br /> Councilmember Holden provided the Council with a Rain Garden brochure. She <br /> stated that these brochures would be good to have for future PMP projects in order <br /> to answer resident's questions regarding rain gardens. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated that the water level at Valentine Park had dropped <br /> a foot. She asked if the water level was still dropping. <br /> Parks and Recreation Manager Michelle Olson stated that the water level is - <br /> down more than a foot now and Civil Engineer Giga is monitoring this with <br /> Ramsey County. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if the level drops down to the normal level, if this <br /> would be a significant enough drop that the City could maintain, would the whole <br /> park still need to be redone. <br /> Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated that this could be discussed with <br /> Civil Engineer Giga. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated that the Mayor had sent a list of questions regarding <br /> the TCAAP reimbursables to City Administrator Moorse and he would like to know <br /> when the answers to these questions will be provided. <br />
