ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—December 14, 2009 15 B. Approve Resolution 2009-038; A Resolution Receiving the 2010 Pavement Management Program Feasibility Report and Ordering Public Hearing for Improvement on January 11, 2010 Civil Engineer Kristine Giga stated at the October 12, 2009, meeting, the City Council approved Resolution 2009-027 ordering the feasibility report for the 2010 PMP, and authorizing Staff to contract with WSB and Associates, Inc., to complete the report. Ms. Diane Hankee, WSB & Associates, reviewed the feasibility report, the background for the project being proposed and the proposed improvements to each area. The concerns of the residents were covered including road width, parking, the types of curbs, and problems with roots.
