ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—October 26, 2009 19 <br /> 9.0 COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS <br /> Councilmember Holden addressed the comments made by Gregg Larson during <br /> the public inquiries and informational section of the meeting. There is no support <br /> from the Federal delegation to move forward with anything but a public auction. <br /> She clarified that she had voted to table the Resolution that Mr. Larson had <br /> referenced, and the consensus that was discussed in that meeting had to do with the <br /> two meetings prior to the June 29 meeting. She stated that she was offended that <br /> Mr. Larson had stated that she had not been building a relationship with Ryan <br /> Companies when in fact she had been one of the Councilmembers that advocated <br /> for Ryan Companies. The previous Council had stated that TCAAP would be <br /> developed at any cost, it did not matter what the cost would be to the residents. This <br /> Council has worked hard to be sure that there was no cost borne by the current tax <br /> payers. The Council knew with the Ryan situation that there would be some cost to <br /> the residents. The concern now is that the residents will have to bear a larger <br /> burden with the TCAAP property being developed and the residents need to be <br /> aware of this. She clarified that she has not done a survey regarding the interest of <br /> residents in the use of the TCAAP property for parks. She had stated that she did <br /> talk to 117 residents informally. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated that performance reviews were being done on <br /> November 2. She asked if prior input would be available. <br /> City Administrator Moorse stated that it was available and he would check to see <br /> if this was sent out. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated that October 24 had been the annual Buckthorn <br /> Removal Project Day organized by the PTRC and many people had showed up for <br /> the event. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated that Wednesday, October 28, was the Northwestern <br /> Youth and Family Services dedication of the Kay Andrews Discovery Center. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated that the new signs have been put up at Valentine <br /> Hills Elementary on Chatham Ave. He stated that the final sign states that the "No <br /> Parking Regulations End Here". He expressed that this was a good idea. <br /> Public Works Director Hoag stated that this had been a suggestion from the <br /> residents. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated that the I&I Report was in the Admin Update. <br /> According to this report the number of non-compliant sump pumps over the sixty <br />
