ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION -- NOVEMBER 16, 2009 5 1 B. 2010-2014 Capital Improvement Plan (continued) Councilmember McClung noted this was crunch time with the budget and that the focus would be on the 2010 budget. He indicated the Council could then reflect on the 2011-2014 big ticket items and provide comment if there were any issues. Councilmember Grant questioned if anything was put into the CIP that the City could not fund, in 2010. Finance Director Iverson stated the items within the CIP were put into the document based on Council comments along with what staff thinks are realistic issues that need to be dealt with. She noted that all items within the 2010 CIP were funded. City Administrator Moorse added that there were expensive items that did not have a funding source at this time. He indicated these items would need to be discussed. Councilmember McClung asked that these items be further expanded. City Administrator Moorse stated the County Road E improvements totaling $2.2 million in 2012 were not funded. This amount was an estimate to get the Council thinking about the needed improvements and if grants should be looked at for the work or if it needs to be assessed. City Administrator Moorse indicated the other large item was the Snelling Regional Trail out in 2014. Councilmember McClung suggested that the Council review the items in detail to see if they were in the correct year and provide comments where necessary. Councilmember Grant proposed the Council start with 2010. City Administrator Moorse noted the Council has reviewed the 2010 CIP in a fair amount of detail already, but that additional information has been provided in terms of cost, which was included within the latest document. Councilmember Holden stated she was confused by the CP Rail expenses and park irrigation.
