ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—JANUARY 19, 2010 6 <br /> LB Library Committee Presentation (continued) <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated she would like to see the site remain even if it would only be a <br /> portal. <br /> Ms. Nemitz indicated the portal would need to be a 21 St century library libra and the Arden Hills site <br /> needed many upgrades. <br /> Councilmember Grant suggested the committee draft a list of criteria that our library needs and <br /> wants with a timeline. He stated this would assist staff in determining a future location for the <br /> library. The Mounds View High School could be a potential site for a library partnership. <br /> Ms. Nemitz and Mayor Harpstead agreed this would be a great starting point. <br /> Councilmember Holden explained the City was assisting with the maintenance of the library and <br /> that she would like to see it remain within the area even if that meant moving to New Brighton. <br /> Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated a list of specific criteria would be a great <br /> start for the task force as this would allow for future partnerships to begin discussions. He <br /> explained he would be available to address any questions the task force may have. <br /> Ms. Crassweller noted the next task force meeting would be held on February 22, 2010 at the <br /> North St. Paul Library. She thanked the Council for their time. <br /> C. CIP 2010-2014 Capital Improvement Plan(CT) <br /> Acting City Administrator/Finance Director Iverson presented the City Council with the 2010- <br /> 2014 Capital Improvement Plan. The Council had previously discussed years 2010 and 2011 at <br /> the November 2009 work session. She suggested the projects be discussed first for years 2012 to <br /> 2014 prior to the equipment. - <br /> Acting City Administrator/Finance Director Iverson explained the five-year document was <br /> ambitious but would allow staff to put numbers together to provide the Council with placeholders <br /> to provide further analysis on larger upcoming projects. <br /> Councilmember Holden suggested the Council begin the discussion with the 2011 County Road <br /> E project as this may be delayed due to a partnership with MnDOT. <br /> Mayor Harpstead indicated the County Road E improvements in 2011 were for planning money <br /> and not the bridge replacement. <br /> Civil Engineer Giga stated the 2011 funds were for improvements between TH51 and Lexington. <br /> The bridge improvement funds were slated in 2013, which could include STP funds. <br /> Councilmember McClung suggested the City push the planning money for County Road E to <br /> 2012 to reduce the timeline for the project. <br />
