• APPROVE MINUTES
Minutes recorded by Julie Tostenson. There was one change to the February 28, 1996
Minutes, Dorothy McClung stated that in the Council Report, referring to Highway 96,
there should be a sentence in there stating there was a discussion regarding connecting the
Arden Manor Trailer Park residents to the rest of the City by way of a trail along
Highway 96. That change was noted and the February 28, 1996 Minutes were approved
unanimously. Motion by Dorothy McClung and seconded by Mary Robinson to approve
the Minutes.
COUNCIL REPORT
Council Liaison, Beverly Aplikowski was absent.
PERRY PARK
Grand Opening
Cindy has informed the City Council, at their March Worksession, that the Committee is
planning a Grand Opening Ceremony for Perry Park on June 1, 1996. Since there is not
currently a budget, we will do what we can for free and find other possible revenue
sources.
I
TRAIL UPDATE
On Monday, March 25, 1996, Cindy will ask the Council to approve the bids for the 1996
Trail Improvements.
The main segment is from Colleen Avenue north to Arden Vista Court cul-de-sac. The
two alternates are: Alternate A extends from Colleen Avenue south to Briarknoll Drive
and Alternate B begins at Colleen Avenue and extends west to North Snelling Avenue.
The low bidder was Thor Construction, Inc. The main segment bid was for $37,385,
Alternate A was $15,159 and Alternate B is $14,375 for a total of$66,920.
There is $40,000 budgeted from the Park Fund for trail development in 1996. The City of
Arden Hills applied for a Cooperative Trails Grant and could receive $45,000 for the
1996 trail segments. With the grant the project would have to be completed by the end of
1997. If the grant is not received it could take up to several years to complete the project.
The Wetland law is looking favorable in the legislature to change from 400 to 2,000
square feet of wetland. This would allow the trail to be constructed without any
mitigation.
