1. PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL
Mark Kelliher, 3712 Chatham Court, stated despite receiving an email from Councilmember
Fabel where he was threatened with action if he does not stop asking questions that he finds
inconvenient or annoying, he would not be bullied by him, nor dissuaded from his constitutional
right to free speech. He explained he wanted to show his support for agenda Item 3E. He
supported each member of the Council receiving a tune-up when it comes to communication
skills, with some having more need then others. He could envision Councilmember Rousseau
roaming the halls making unauthorized and adhoc demands of staff such as running reports and
answering her questions in a quest to vanquish her next political foe. He indicated this type of
behavior was unhealthy for any work culture because staff is left questioning who their boss was.
He fully supported each Councilmember being required to run their requests through the City
Administrator. He believed Dave Perrault should be directing traffic and staff was responsible to
him. He noticed Item 3E discussed how the Council should use decorum and civility when
addressing staff. He suggested the Council expand the scope for Item 3E to address how
Councilmembers speak to residents. He stated disrespectful comments regarding residents are
made on a regular basis by Councilmember Rousseau and Councilmember Fabel. He was of the
opinion Councilmember Monson was the only member of the slate that could communicate with
residents. He recommended Item 3E be expanded so members of the public can broach their
concerns with the Council without fear of intimidation and belittlement.

2. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES
None.
3. AGENDA ITEMS
A. 4293 and 4295 Lexington Avenue Concept Plan Review
Megan Rogers, Larkin Hoffman, thanked the Council for their time. She provided the Council
with a presentation on a concept plan for the two parcels adjacent to Cummings Park. She
reported she would need a rezoning and text amendment to allow for a school and house of
worship within the I-1 zoning district. She believed the proposed site would suit the school and
house of worship use given its location within the community. She commented on how schools
require a larger parcel in order to accommodate a campus. She recommended the text amendment
only permit this use under certain conditions. She discussed the project objectives in further detail
with the Council. She reviewed the existing site conditions and noted her client appreciated the
fact there was a full-sized kitchen and cafeteria that could be utilized by the school. She
commented on how traffic would flow to and from the site. She commented further as to the
benefits of having all of their students on one campus. It was her hope the Council would support
the proposed concept plan on this site.
Mayor Grant asked what type of school would be coming into the community.
Ms. Rogers explained she has kept her clients name confidential because they have had three
purchase agreements where other schools have come in and offered more money for those sites.
She reported if the Council did not support the use on this property, she would let her client know,
but noted she would be keeping the name of her client confidential. She indicated this was an
expensive site and a significant amount of fundraising would have to occur before the purchase
could be made.
Councilmember Holden inquired if the exterior of the building would be changed.
Ms. Rogers reported the exterior of the building would not be changed.
Councilmember Holden questioned how the 400 students would get to school on a daily basis.
Ms. Rogers stated there would be both bussing and parents dropping off students.
Councilmember Holden indicated she was worried about the flow of traffic given the fact this
was a high traffic area. In addition, she was concerned about the fact this site did not have a
playground.
Ms. Rogers noted 273 students currently take the bus to school. She indicated the site had 693
parking stalls and 400 would be attributable to the two southern buildings. She explained the
busses would be parked off site. She discussed where a potential playground could be located on
the property.
Councilmember Holden questioned what the hours of operation were for the school.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 3
Ms. Rogers commented the school currently operates from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. She noted after
care was offered through 6:00 p.m. She indicated the school does offer some after school
activities for its middle school students.
Councilmember Rousseau discussed how she lived in the neighborhood across from Karth Lake
and she understood the neighbors have been working to improve the water quality for the lake.
She indicated she had concerns with how the lake would be impacted. She commented on how the
neighbors can hear the kids playing at the park on the weekends. She stated she would be
concerned about the noise being generated by the proposed school if it were to locate on this
property. She explained she was also concerned about traffic flowing to and from this site.
Mayor Grant indicated he was concerned about how this property was supposed to be used to
generate jobs. He anticipated there were other locations in Arden Hills that could be used for a
house of worship. He stated the City would be losing a sizeable chunk of its Industrial property if
this property were rezoned. He noted he had concerns with this.
Councilmember Monson commented she liked the idea of having a school and church. She
indicated she was not overly concerned about noise, but feared the site would be limited with
parking and outdoor activities. She reported she would be very hard pressed to support the school
using public facilities. She felt like there were a lot of hurdles with this request.
Councilmember Fabel stated these hurdles would have to be overcome by the applicant.
Councilmember Monson reported this was the case and noted the City had 15 properties where a
house of worship would be allowed in the community.
Further discussion ensued regarding how this use would impact the surrounding properties.
Ms. Rogers commented the school was not proposing to use the public facilities but noted her
client did appreciate how this property felt like it was part of the community.
Councilmember Holden indicated she did not have a problem with a house of worship at this
location, but she did have a problem with a school. She feared the site did not have proper
capacity for traffic, parking and future expansion.
Councilmember Monson questioned what other alternatives the school had considered.
Ms. Rogers stated building a campus from scratch would be difficult because a large vacant
property would be needed. For this reason, many schools were transitioning to industrials sites
with large amounts of parking. Another option would be to purchase old charter schools that were
already zoned for the use. She commented further on how it was necessary to rezone this site in
order to accommodate the proposed use.
Mayor Grant questioned how far students would be bussed.
Ms. Rogers indicated students would be coming from Minneapolis and noted she has looked for
property in Columbus, Blaine and Fridley. She indicated one of her boardmembers became aware
of this property.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 4
Councilmember Fabel asked if the school had an affiliation with Bethel or Northwestern.
Ms. Rogers stated the school did not, but noted the graduates could consider attending either
school after graduation.
Mayor Grant indicated he could support the house of worship use, but explained he was
concerned with how the school would fit. In addition, he was concerned about losing this large
industrial parcel and the jobs it created.
Ms. Rogers stated she would bring the Council's feedback to her board and explained she
appreciated the Council's thoughtful consideration.
B. Highway 96/TH10 Corridor Landscaping and Irrigation Maintenance
Assistant Public Works Director Miller stated Public Works staff has been aware of the
viability issues of the landscaping around the Lakeshore Place retaining wall (near the intersection
of Highways 96 and 10 southwest quadrant) for the last couple years and adjusted to try to include
it as part of the City's maintenance cycle per the cooperative agreement with Ramsey County
approved by City Council on March 10, 2023. This effort of maintenance is solely dependent on
daily workload and staff availability. Based on concerns stated by residents in the area, staff is
trying to come up with A) a more realistic and consistent maintenance option for the longevity of
the plantings and trees in the area and B) direction to replace the shrubs that are in heavy decline
in the area. Arden Hills is required to maintain the area per the cooperative agreement with
Ramsey County.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller explained similarly, the Highway 96 corridor
landscaping maintenance is the responsibility of Arden Hills. The City has invested nearly
$80,000 into tree replacements annually since 2022. In order to ensure the viability and success of
the trees, large amounts of watering is required. These trees require Public Works staff to fill
watering bags in order for the trees to thrive throughout the spring, summer and fall months in a
very tough environment for growth along a highway boulevard. This effort of maintenance is
solely dependent on daily workload and staff availability. Safety is also a concern with this effort,
as well. The amount of time staff works along live traffic out of their vehicles should be
minimized as much as possible along the corridor of Highway 96, one of the busiest roadways in
Arden Hills and posted speed limit of 55 mph. This work is often performed by seasonal staff
with little field experience. Staff is interested in gauging the Council's interest in permanently
installing an irrigation system to limit the amount of exposure staff has along live traffic, as well
as consistently helping the longevity and viability of the trees that we have invested in and
replaced in the corridor recently and give them the best chance to survive.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller reported recently, Public Works staff inspected the
existing condition of the remaining trees along TH-96. Approximately 30 more trees are in major
decline. A good portion of the trees have been identified with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) disease
and have been treated over the years, but treatment is no longer a viable option and the trees need
to be removed and possibly replaced. Staff would propose replacing these trees in the same
fashion, consistent with the annual projects since 2022 using the Tree Replacement Fund, which
has an approximate balance of $34,000 that could be utilized for this work.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 5
Councilmember Monson understood the trees and shrubs were not surviving due to lack of
irrigation. She explained an alternative to installing an irrigation system was providing adequate
water for the trees and shrubs for the first five years. She commented further on the cost of
installing an irrigation system versus the cost for manually watering the trees and shrubs.
Councilmember Fabel reviewed the agreement with the County noting the County providing the
plantings and the City was to provide all care and upkeep of the landscaped areas. He questioned
if the City was holding up its end of the agreement.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller explained City staff was doing its best to water and
maintain the landscaping. He reported an irrigation system would help with providing more
consistency.
Councilmember Fabel stated given the condition of the plants right now, he questioned if the
City was properly maintaining them at this time.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller stated there were 17 shrubs in decline that were being
attacked by rabbits. He reiterated that staff was doing the best it can to maintain these shrubs.
Councilmember Fabel asked if the City was fulfilling the intent and purpose of the agreement
with the County.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller believed the City was fulfilling its portion of the
agreement.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported in 2012 when this interchange was
completed, MNDOT turned over the maintenance to Ramsey County and Ramsey County was
going to remove the boulevard trees because they will not maintain them. It was in the Council's
interest at that time to acquire the trees and the City would be responsible for the maintenance. He
explained the City was doing the best it could to maintain this space and indicated the proposed
irrigation would relieve some of the resources that were being focused on watering this area. He
stated the residents in this area supported an irrigation system, especially given the recent
droughts.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the seasonals were allowed to operate the water truck.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained a Class B license was required to
operate the water truck, which meant a fulltime employee was required to complete this work. He
indicated seasonals could assist.
Councilmember Holden stated Ramsey County never maintained this property after the trees
were installed. She commented on how $200,000 was a lot of money and would buy a lot of park
equipment.
Councilmember Monson inquired if the City had to keep the trees, or could a pollinator garden
be considered, because this would require less water.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 6
Assistant Public Works Director Miller explained he had a list of shrubs that were being
considered to assist with screening the traffic. He indicated only 17 shrubs were being proposed
to be replaced.
Councilmember Rousseau asked if the irrigation system could be installed next year with the 30
trees and 17 shrubs being replaced this year.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller commented he would appreciate the Council
considering this request as soon as possible.
Councilmember Rousseau discussed how valuable the trees were to block out noise for the
adjacent neighborhood.
Mayor Grant stated a better solution may be required given the fact the City was now
responsible for the trees at TH10 and Highway 96. He understood that a number of trees that were
declining were ash trees.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller reported this was the case. He noted 14 trees were
recently replaced by Margolis.
Mayor Grant believed the residents of Arden Hills appreciated the trees along Highway 96. He
supported the City finding a solution for Shoreline Lane this year. Budgetarily, he anticipated the
City would have to consider how and when to fund the irrigation project.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller commented further on the proposed dripline that could
be installed along Highway 96.
Councilmember Fabel asked if these young trees take at some point and require less watering.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller explained this takes approximately five years.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen discussed how this was a harsh environment
for trees and watering was very important in order to get them to the five year mark.
Councilmember Holden stated that many of the trees along this corridor should not have been
planted. She said if the majority that were dying were ash trees, she understood they would have
to be replaced. She commented on how the drought impacted the trees and she appreciated the
fact that the new trees selected were hardier.
Councilmember Rousseau questioned what the County has been doing for the median with
Shoreview. She asked if Shoreview had an irrigation system or if they used water trucks.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller anticipated Shoreview was responsible for maintaining
their medians. He indicated he was uncertain if Shoreview had an irrigation system in place.
Councilmember Holden reported Shoreview had an ICWC crew that maintained the watering of
medians for Shoreview.
Mayor Grant asked if this was an option for Arden Hills.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 7
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported Arden Hills only had the ICWC
crews on the weekends.
Councilmember Monson stated she was skeptical about continuing to put money into this. She
indicated half of the trees and shrubs have died or were in decline. She explained she was having
a hard time with understanding why they should be maintained instead of removed.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen indicated years ago trees were removed and
not replaced. However, after receiving direction from the Council, the trees along the Highway
96 corridor were replaced. He stated he was trying to find solutions in order to react to the
comments being received from Council and residents.
Councilmember Monson anticipated that it would continue to be difficult to maintain the trees
along this corridor. She suggested a solid plan be created to address how many trees should be
planted and maintained going forward and how much it will cost.
Councilmember Rousseau asked how many trees were surviving and doing well.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller explained of the 213 trees, I10 were in decline. He
estimated the 25 of the 30 that were recently inspected as needed to be replaced were due to
emerald ash borer.
Mayor Grant asked if the Council wanted to replant the trees along the trees along Lakeshore
Place.
Councilmember Monson stated she would only support this if the City was required per the
agreement.
Mayor Grant indicated he could support the tree replacement on Lakeshore Place.
Councilmember Rousseau stated she could support the tree placement on Lakeshore Place as
well.
Mayor Grant asked if the Council could support the tree placement along Lakeshore Place.
Councilmember Monson indicated she would only support this if required by the agreement.
Councilmember Rousseau believed the City was exceeding its requirements for this roadway
and she was not in favor of it.
Councilmember Holden stated she supported the replanting because the homeowners purchased
homes along this roadway and MNDOT came in and significantly increased the level of traffic on
Highway 10. She suggested at least half of the trees be replaced.
Councilmember Fabel agreed the trees should not be replaced.
Councilmember Holden commented if nothing was done the trees will die and more plants will
be required to be purchased.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 8
Councilmember Monson indicated she wanted to better understand what was required of the
City for beautification. She stated if staff came up with a concrete plan for these areas, taking into
consideration what was required by the City, she would be happy to reconsider how to approach
these projects.
Councilmember Fabel feared the City was throwing good money at bad.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated staff would continue to water with the
resources staff had.
Councilmember Monson explained she would need more details from staff on the irrigation
system. She indicated she could not support purchasing and replanting 17 more shrubs that would
just die again in this environment.
Councilmember Fabel anticipated that ongoing watering would be necessary in order to
maintain any vegetation or landscaping at this corner.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated residents in this area were very
concerned that this corner was not being watered properly and this was why this matter was
brought to the City Council.
Councilmember Rousseau questioned how many new trees were being watered.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller indicated half of the spruce trees were planted last year.
Councilmember Rousseau stated these trees have to be watered.
Councilmember Monson stated she was hearing from staff that there was a need for this area to
be irrigated.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen indicated he believed this was the case
given the amount of resident feedback staff has received.
Councilmember Fabel supported this area being irrigated as well.
Mayor Grant stated this meant staff had support from four Councilmembers to irrigate this area.
He questioned how the Council wanted to address Highway 96.
Councilmember Holden suggested there be half the number of trees without an irrigation
system. She recommended that if a tree were to die that it not be replaced.
Mayor Grant indicated he supported the trees being watered.
Councilmember Rousseau agreed.
Councilmember Monson explained she did not support an irrigation system for this portion of
roadway in 2024. She indicated she wanted to see a full plan for Highway 96 and wanted to
understand if the 30 trees had to be replaced.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 9
Councilmember Holden stated one of the ideas was to wait until so many trees were gone and
then to hire a firm to plant the proper trees and maintain them for two of three years.
Councilmember Rousseau reported she valued the canopy of trees in Arden Hills and she
recommended the 30 trees be replaced with something that would be resistant.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the 30 trees would be replaced this fall.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller anticipated the trees would be replaced in November.
Councilmember Holden suggested staff bring this item back to the Council this fall.
Councilmember Fabel indicated he would like to take a closer look at the Highway 96 corridor.
He did not believe the trees provided any privacy to the adjacent homes.
Mayor Grant agreed the trees did not provide a great deal of privacy.
Councilmember Holden indicated trees do provide a nice amount of shade for those walking
along this corridor.
Mayor Grant requested staff bring this item back to the Council in September or October.
C. 2024 Park Improvement Project
Assistant Public Works Director Miller stated at the March 11, 2024 Work Session, Staff
presented to City Council an introduction to the Arden Oaks Park & Freeway Park Improvement
Project. Arden Oaks Park and Freeway Park play structures and swings were built in 1999 and
1998, respectively. Through the City's Park Maintenance Management Plan, park equipment is to
be considered for replacement on a 20-year cycle. Within the 2024-2028 CIP, Arden Oaks Park
and Freeway Park are programmed for improvements in 2025. According to the City's Park
Maintenance Management Plan, hardcourts are to be considered for resurfacing every 5-8 years,
with a life expectancy of 25-35 years depending on conditions. Arden Oaks Park and Freeway
Park are scheduled for resurfacing in 2025. By visual inspection, the surface is showing signs for
replacement, but the underlying soils do not appear to have an issue with significant heaving.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller explained the 2025 Park Improvement Project, as
programmed in the 2024-2028 CIP, is only budgeted for the replacement of the play structures,
rehabilitation of the hardcourts and some miscellaneous items that relate to the play structure or
hardcourts or items that have been consistent in recent past Park Improvement Projects.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller reported Public Works Staff and PTRC have each
performed site visits and listed feedback for potential park improvements, in addition to the play
structures and hardcourts, which is over and above what had been budgeted for in the CIP. This
feedback was presented to Council at the March 11 Work Session. Council was interested in
considering all of these items presented at that Work Session and requested staff to go through the
process of receiving feedback from Public outreach and providing preliminary planning level cost
estimates of these items prior to determining the final scope of the project.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 10
Assistant Public Works Director Miller stated considering Council's desire to be flexible at the
early stages of the project with the design and the current broad scope of the project, Staff
requested that Bolton and Menk, Inc. (BMI) provide a Professional Services Agreement (PSA)
that only included the following: complete online survey development, public involvement,
survey analysis, planning level cost estimates based on feedback and a Public meeting
presentation to Council. This PSA with BMI was approved by Council at the April 8, 2024
Council Meeting. Council was able to see the presentation from BMI and the packet information
they put together, breaking down in detail the survey results at the Work Session on May 28,
2024.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller commented for the Work Session, Council will need to
define more, the scope of the project, which will lead the project into the design phase. A PSA
amendment will be requested from Bolton & Menk related to that project scope for the Arden
Oaks Park & Freeway Park Improvement Project.
Councilmember Monson supported the City having a Parks Master Plan in place because this
would give the City a vision for budgeting and overall vision for park amenities.
Councilmember Rousseau stated after speaking with the consultant regarding the proposed park
improvements, she understood there were a lot of opportunities at Freeway Park. She supported
the City having a Master Plan in place, but also incorporating other values such as environmental
stewardship and invasive species.
Councilmember Holden indicated she was having trouble envisioning Freeway Park any other
way, given its size and how it was surrounded by two major roadways. She suggested more
planning be completed for Arden Oaks Park.
Councilmember Monson supported these two parks moving forward as is and that a Master Plan
be put in place for all future parks.
Councilmember Fabel stated he liked the idea of a Parks Master Plan. He feared the Council was
micromanaging parks from the Council level. He reported he was a fan of the plans for Freeway
Park.
Councilmember Rousseau was of the opinion Freeway Park may have more opportunities.
Mayor Grant discussed that what the City does today has to fit into the plans for tomorrow. He
agreed Arden Oaks Park could have more amenities added in the future.
Councilmember Holden asked what parks were coming up for improvements.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated in 2027, Ingerson and Sampson
would be improved, and in 2029 the playground structure would be replaced at Royal Hills. He
stated in 2033, Valentine Park would be improved. He asked if it made sense to put the brakes on
the plans for Arden Oaks and Freeway Parks in order to pursue a Parks Master Plan.
Councilmember Holden reported she supported these two parks moving forward given the fact
the City has told residents these parks were going to be improved.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 11
Councilmember Monson agreed. She asked if staff was being asked to pursue a Parks Master
Plan.
Councilmember Rousseau requested this matter be further discussed during the Council's
strategic planning session.
Councilmember Holden suggested the Parks Master Plan be addressed at a future meeting.
Mayor Grant requested staff narrow down the scope for Freeway Park and Arden Oaks Park. He
questioned if staff had to stay within the budget for these parks.
Councilmember Holden recommended staff stick to the budget.
Councilmember Monson supported staff sticking to the budget as close as possible.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen commented he was looking for direction on
the amenities that should be included within the park. He was of the opinion this direction should
be community driven and not be determined by staff.
Councilmember Monson indicated she would rather have a really cool play structure versus
minor accessories within the park. However, she understood a lot of decisions had to be made
regarding the park improvements.
Councilmember Rousseau agreed the first things parents and children notice within parks were
the playground structures. She supported both of these parks having standout playground
structures that differed from each other.
Councilmember Holden stated she supported Freeway Park having picnic tables because this
was a request from the neighbors.
Councilmember Fabel believed this discussion should be held by the PTRC and staff.
Councilmember Monson explained after looking at the park plans, she noted it would be
$270,000 for Arden Oaks and $234,000 for Freeway Park. She commented she could support
going slightly over budget in order to create two unique parks.
Councilmember Holden suggested each Councilmember provide staff with recommendations for
each park for further consideration.
The City Council recessed the worksession until after the City Council meeting at 6:50 p.m.
The City Council reconvened the work session at 8:30 p.m.
Mayor Grant asked how the Council wanted to proceed with Arden Oaks Park.
Councilmember Holden recommended the Council talk through the amenities in order to
provided staff additional feedback. She reported she supported Option 1, existing perimeter.
Councilmember Monson and Councilmember Rousseau supported this option as well.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 12
The Council did not support the picnic shelter but supported the park having some sort of shade
structure. The Council recommended the basketball court be resurfaced, new hoops be purchased,
and that the court be striped for pickleball. The Council did not support bicycle parking.
Councilmember Monson indicated she would like to have an ADA port -a -potty for this park.
Councilmember Rousseau and Councilmember Holden supported this recommendation.
The Council supported the park having two benches and one picnic table. The Council supported
purchasing new trash receptacles if needed. The Council recommended the dog waste station be
removed. The Council supported the sign being replaced. The Council wanted to see a gaga pit
installed. The Council did not support the park having wayfinding signs.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated these amenities and improvements
would cost around $230,000.
Mayor Grant questioned what improvements the Council wanted included in Freeway Park.
The Council did not support the accessible trail construction, parking lot or tree removal.
Assistant Public Works Director Miller explained there were trees that had to be removed
within this park.
The Council supported tree trimming being completed. The Council recommended the
playground equipment being updated. The Council did not support the rink being updated but
recommended it be repainted. The Council supported the concrete for the hockey rink being
considered at a future date. The Council recommended the basketball court and hoop being
replaced. The Council supported the lights being replaced with LED. The Council did not
recommend the building being replaced or repaired.
Councilmember Holden recommended the building maintenance be separated out from the park
improvements project.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated he could separate this expense out in
order to have the siding and windows repaired.
The Council did not support a bike rack for this park. The Council recommended a portable
restroom (non-ADA) be included in the park. The Council supported the park having two picnic
tables and the reuse of the two existing benches. The Council recommended the trash receptacles
be replaced. The Council did not support a dog waste station. The Council recommended the gaga
pit not be installed. The Council supported the fencing being reinstalled, but not the wayfinding
signs.
Councilmember Monson supported both parks receiving several new trees with the cost coming
out of the tree replacement fund.
Councilmember Monson supported City staff pursuing grants for the next round of parks that
were slated for improvement.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JUNE 10, 2024 13
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated if there was interest in replacement
trees, he could bring options back for the Council to consider with the concept plan. He reported
Freeway Park would cost approximately $216,000 plus the cost for the fence.
D. Spring Lake Park Lions Club Donation Discussion
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated the Spring Lake Park Lions Club
contacted staff about donating funds with the intent of it to be used towards Park improvements.
On May 13, 2024, through Resolution 2024-027, the City Council accepted the donation in the
amount of $15,000. Since 1986, the SLP Lions Club has been one of Minnesota's Largest
Charitable Gambling Organizations, and they run a pull -tab booth in the City. The SLP Lions
Club aims to help those in need within the community through various fundraising activities.
They are active in the Arden Hills' community and wanted to see these funds used towards Park
improvements.
Mayor Grant suggested a timer switch be purchased for the Freeway Park hockey rink lights.
Councilmember Monson supported this funding being focused on Freeway Park or Arden Oaks
Park.
Councilmember Rousseau suggested a community garden be installed at Freeway Park or Arden
Manor.
Councilmember Holden reported the City had tried a community garden at Arden Manor and it
did not turn out well.
Councilmember Monson asked if the City had a community garden at the substation.
Mayor Grant reported this was the case.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated the community garden fills up quickly
each year.
Councilmember Monson suggested the fence at Freeway Park be covered by this donation.
Councilmember Holden supported this recommendation.

2. TCAAP/RICE CREEK COMMONS UPDATE
City Administrator Perrault stated the Joint Development Authority has not met since the last
Council meeting, neither have either of the committees. Currently, we are waiting on an update
from Alatus on their discussions with a private developer, they are slated to meet later this week
and then provide an update to the City and County following the meeting. On another note, the
City Council met jointly with the City of Mounds View's City Council, and among the topics was
a premiere sports facility that would involve a private/public partnership. The group is also
meeting with Alatus this week about the possibility of the complex on Rice Creek Commons.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JUNE 10, 2024 2
Please note, they are still significant financial and development agreement items to be worked
through regardless of the sports complex. Lastly, the next JDA meeting is slated for July I st, it is
still being decided whether or not to hold that meeting, cancel it, or reschedule, watch the City's
website for updates on the meeting.
Councilmember Monson thanked City Administrator Perrault for all of his efforts with County
staff. She explained the JDA has not met recently. She noted there was a $40 million gap in
funding for this project for soil correction and mass grading. She indicated this cost is typically
assumed by the landowner and developer and this was agreed to by the County in the past.
However, now that the County was in a different financial situation, the JDA was seeking other
options for covering this expense. She explained the County was uncomfortable with bonding for
this expense in the event the development does not move forward. She stated the JDA was
seeking solutions to find financing. She indicated a TIF bond that was administered by the City
was considered. She reported as the JDA representative, she did not believe this would be a wise
decision for the City. She commented that a tax abatement structure was also considered and has
not gotten traction given the up -front costs. She indicated alternate financial solutions were still
being considered.
Councilmember Fabel stated all discussions regarding finances have been held between City and
County staff and the JDA has not been a part of the discussions. He explained there has been
tremendous increases in infrastructure costs and interest rates have skyrocketed. He reported the
County has come up with other objectives for their funding which means the JDA has not seen a
manner in which to address the $40 million funding gap. It was his hope that a solution would be
brought forward from the County or the developer. Until a solution comes forward, the project
was at an impasse. He commented on how in the last year, it was determined some of the soil
needs remediation, which would require additional funding.
Councilmember Holden asked if the City was overbudget with Ehlers.
City Administrator Perrault reported this was the case.
Councilmember Holden questioned if staff had any other reports from Ehlers.
City Administrator Perrault stated the Council has all reports that have been distributed from
Ehlers.
Councilmember Holden stated she understood one of the proposals from the County would have
the County putting $10 million into infrastructure and the City would put in $10 million. She
questioned if the County saw a problem with this given the different sizes of budgets for each
entity.
City Administrator Perrault explained this was just an idea that was spit balled. He reported the
County wanted to have both the developer and the City to have skin in the game to help fill the
gap.
Councilmember Holden indicated the County has expressed concern with funding the $40
million given the fact the project could stall. She stated this was the same reason the City was
asking for utility protection.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JUNE 10, 2024
City Administrator Perrault stated he has made this point to the County.
Councilmember Holden clarified for the record that the City Council was aware in 2016 that the
soil under Town Center would have to be remediated. She indicated the County had this
information when they purchased the property. She commented on how the County was supposed
to sell the property to the master developer and the developer was to complete the mass grading.
City Administrator Perrault reported the short answer was the City does not know. He
explained if TIF and abatement were not options for this project, the project may stand still,
unless a private partner equity piece were to work out. He stated if this option were to move
forward, then the land would be taken down in one transaction.
Councilmember Holden indicated the spine road has not moved at all and the County had
funding from MNDOT to complete this roadway, which has now been forfeited. She questioned if
the County would be going after additional funding from MNDOT for this portion of the project.
City Administrator Perrault explained the County may have checked some of the boxes on the
project, and he was uncertain if the funding had been forfeited.
Mayor Grant thanked Councilmember Monson for her comments. He stated he was not aware
that TIF was being discussed. He reported the muck on site goes back to 2017. He reported if the
County were to ask the City to contribute $10 million, this was slightly less than two years' worth
of a levy. He noted the County levies close to $1 billion in two years. He explained the County
has been discussing a funding gap for quite some time. He noted the County paid $28 million for
the property, of which $6 million was given to the Army and $22 million to Bolander to clean up
the property. He stated the County claimed there was a gap of $17 million years ago and he did
not understand why this gap consisted of. While he understood costs and interest rates were on the
rise, the idea of a funding gap was not new to this project.
Councilmember Monson indicated the County has not asked the City to put $10 million into this
proj ect.
City Administrator Perrault clarified this was not a formal request from the County, but rather
an idea that the County put in $10 million and the City put in $10 million. He noted this was a
comment made in passing.
Councilmember Monson stated she was not following the $17 million gap statement from the
Mayor. She indicated the question remained who was going to pay for the mass grading.
Mayor Grant reported the County purchased the property for $28 million and shortly thereafter
the County identified a funding gap of $17 million. He wasn't sure if this was a legal expense. He
reiterated that the County has always identified a funding gap for this development.
Councilmember Monson stated the County was previously going to cover the mass grading
expenses and now they were no longer willing.
City Administrator Perrault reported in 2024, there was clear accounting of the $40 million
gap. He explained the $40 million of site work has always been understood and in 2018 the
County had agreed to fund this and now they were not willing to.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JUNE 10, 2024 4
Mayor Grant asked if the developer was going to do the mass grading initially.
Councilmember Holden stated the developer had wanted to do the mass grading, but the County
insisted on doing this work. She questioned how much revenue the County took in from the
timber and dirt that was sold while cleaning the site.
Mayor Grant indicated the County had not provided this information to the City.
3. PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL
Linda Swanson, 1124 Ingerson Road, stated she reviewed Council Comments from May 28 and
she was shocked by Councilmember Fabel's statement noting she and Mark were "poorly
educated" and "consider the source and the source being what they are". She assured
Councilmember Fabel that she and Mark were not poorly educated. She reminded
Councilmember Fabel that he was to represent Arden Hills residents and not degrade them. She
understood Councilmember Fabel was old, but someday he may learn how to treat people with
social grace. She discussed how the slate has used their quorum status from a duly elected mayor.
She believed this was disrespectful to the residents that elected him. She reported Councilmember
Holden has been dealing with family medical issues that keep her from meeting prior to 5:30
p.m., but the slate keeps pushing to set 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. meeting times. She expressed concern
with the fact the slate brought in County sheriffs to escort residents from the podium. In addition,
she was concerned with the fact the slate could not be objective as to why TCAAP was stalled
and placing blame on prior Councilmembers. She suggested the slate speak with former
Councilmembers in order to obtain further history on the TCAAP project. She did not appreciate
the fact the slate would not permit anyone to serve as a Council liaison except the slate. She
understood the slate recommended an increased unit number for TCAAP to the Planning
Commission and without review of the community surveys and feedback. She explained TCAAP
would be a financial risk to the City for the next 20 to 30 years. She stated the Mayor has spoken
to his tenure as Mayor. She then spoke to Councilmember Holden's accomplishments noting she
has brought in millions in State bonding money and has protected the manufactured home
community. She noted Ryan Companies requested Councilmember Holden go to Washington DC
to save the TCAAP project. She stated TCAAP was balanced under the previous Council and not
a major financial risk. She encouraged the slate, before they started pointing fingers, to start
looking at themselves.
Mark Kelliher, 3712 Chatham Court, stated he has been in front of the Council twice in recent
months. He explained he discussed how the Councilmembers who supported 1,960 units within
Rice Creek Commons may have violated their fiduciary responsibilities. More recently, because
of the snarky and disrespectful response he received from Councilmember Fabel, after expressing
his viewpoints. He stated he has since sent Councilmember Fabel an email with a short list of
clear questions that he should have been able to answer if he indeed was following the path of a
fiduciary. He reported Councilmember Fabel's response to the email left him breathless.
Councilmember Fabel refused to answer the questions and instead painted a false picture of the
past. He stated facts were a stubborn thing and unless key facts have been withheld from him, the
Councilmember's attempts to paint a false narrative was disingenuous and misleads the public.
He noted Councilmember Fabel then went on to threaten him with action if he continued to
pursue the truth as Councilmember Fabel found this inconvenient and annoying. He reported
threats like these were attempts to squash his first amendment right to free speech. By threatening
to curtail his right to speak, this Councilmember provided further proof that Councilmember
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JUNE 10, 2024 5
Fabel does not have the City's best interests at heart. He encouraged the entire City Council to
take Councilmember Fabel aside to explain to him what he as a lawyer should already know,
namely, the first amendment should not be a doormat that Councilmember Fabel gets to trample
just because he finds that stubborn facts continue to plague his actions and votes. Because
Councilmember Fabel is a lawyer himself, it is shocking that there is a need, but perhaps
Councilmember Fabel could receive a primer from the new City Attorney on the importance of
the first amendment as well as the role of a fiduciary. Without the benefit of Councilmember
Fabel understanding these two important issues, the City is at grave risk. Lastly, he thanked
Councilmember Monson for her candid update.
4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES
Mayor Grant provided a response to a public inquiry that was made a month ago when a resident
stated he should be a better Mayor. He reported at the last City Council meeting, he listed the
programs that had been completed during his tenure as Mayor. He indicated this was the start of
his 24th year on the City Council and 14th year as Mayor. He commented on how he valued people
and recognized talent. He then addressed City Administrator Perrault noting he began in the
finance department and after being recognized for his talent he was promoted to the Finance
Director. After receiving a master's in public administration and business administration, a
previous Council appointed Mr. Perrault City Administrator. He believed this spoke volumes to
the previous Councils he served under.
Mayor Grant reported Ms. Hanson came to the City as a Deputy Clerk and Council promoted
her to City Clerk. He discussed how Ms. Hanson was working on her master municipal clerk
certification and thanked her for being a valuable member of City staff.
Mayor Grant explained Mr. Swearingen came to the City as an engineering tech. He indicated he
moved to Assistant City Engineer and was now serving as the Public Works Director/City
Engineer. He commended Director Swearingen for advancing up the ladder as well as the
previous Council for acknowledging these efforts.
Mayor Grant stated Ms. Jagoe began with the City as a Senior Planner, was promoted to City
Planner and now serves as the Community Development Director. He believed it spoke well of
him and previous Councils for recognizing and hiring talent for the City of Arden Hills. He
explained he was very proud of the staff members that have been promoted and stayed with the
City.
5. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS
None.
6. STAFF COMMENTS

Public Works Director Swearingen reported the 2024 PMP street improvement project would

only last several days.

9. PULLED CONSENT ITEMS
A. Motion To Approve Agreement For Legal Services With LeVander, Gillen &
Miller P.A.
Councilmember Holden stated she would be voting for this item in protest. She explained when
attorney interviews were conducted Amy Schmidt, who had worked for Ramsey County, was told
she could get a waiver and represent the City. However, it did not feel like a partnership when the
waiver was pulled back and the City had to go through interviews again in order to hire another
attorney.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a
motion to Approve Agreement For Legal Services With LeVander, Gillen &
Miller P.A. The motion carried (5-0).
B. Motion To Approve Ordinance 2024-004 Amending Chapter 2, Section 220,
Subsections 220.04 and 220.05 of the Arden Hills City Code (Youth
Commissioners and Committee Members)
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JUNE 10, 2024 7
Councilmember Rousseau stated she would not be voting for this item. She indicated she did not
believe this ordinance amendment was necessary. She explained the ordinance change may set a
precedent regarding the youth commissioners/committee members. She stated she would like to
see terms that were cycled to ensure members were not moving in and out all at the same time.
She recognized there needed to be a balance, but she did not believe representatives had to be
appointed by their age, but rather continuity should be considered. She indicated the Council has
not surveyed any of the high schoolers that have applied for a youth commission position and the
Council may find the process needs to be improved or additional support may have to be offered.
Councilmember Monson asked if there were more than two members on the EDC and PTRC
that met the youth criteria.
Councilmember Rousseau stated there were two members total, one in a youth role and one in a
non -youth, regular member role for both the EDC and PTRC.
Councilmember Monson reported the proposed ordinance amendment would not impact these
members.
Councilmember Rousseau understood the amendment would not impact the members today, but
she did not see the purpose of having a youth position with a one-year commitment.
Councilmember Holden indicated the EDC has nine members, two of which were now 15 or 16
years old. She stated this meant 25% of the vote on the EDC was coming from youth members.
She supported the EDC having proper representation from business owners in the community.
She explained she would be supporting the proposed ordinance amendment.
Councilmember Rousseau commented that the EDC does still have one open seat and one of the
youth members serving on the EDC does have their own business.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a
motion to Approve Ordinance 2024-004 Amending Chapter 2, Section 220,
Subsections 220.04 and 220.05 of the Arden Hills City Code (Youth
Commissioners and Committee Members).
Councilmember Fabel stated he believed the Council wanted to have young people involved in
some of its commissions and committees. He indicated this was why he supported the ordinance
originally.
Councilmember Monson reported this was the intent, but then there were concerns about having
too many youths on the commissions and committees. This led the Council to direct staff to draft
an Ordinance to allow for no more than two youth members on each commission or committee.
She indicated she would continue to support youth on the City's commission or committees but
supported there being balance.
Mayor Grant agreed the proposed ordinance would offer balance.
The motion carried 4-1 (Councilmember Rousseau opposed).
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JUNE 10, 2024
MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to adopt Ordinance 2024-004 and Approved Publication of Summary
Ordinance 2024-004. The motion carried (5-0).

13. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Rousseau deferred starting her comments to Councilmember Fabel.
Councilmember Fabel responded to Mr. Kelliher. He reported Mr. Kelliher made accusations
and insults to the Council. He noted he could put up with a portion of this, but when it gets to
slander then it has gone too far. He indicated Mr. Kelliher has a different opinion about Rice
Creek Commons than he, Councilmember Monson and Councilmember Rousseau. He
commented on the lengthy phone conversations he had with Mr. Kelliher regarding Rice Creek
Commons, noting this occurred on two separate occasions. He stated Mr. Kelliher then showed up
at the April Council meeting accusing him of having no fiduciary responsibility. He reported the
statements made by Mr. Kelliher about how this project would lose millions and millions of
dollars were false and he thanked City Administrator Perrault for responding to Mr. Kelliher's
comments. He explained an email was sent to Mr. Kelliher stating in the long term the City breaks
even and the project does not result in a loss for the City. He reported Mr. Kelliher returned to the
City Council meeting at the end of May with more accusations on how some Councilmembers
were not properly representing the City. He indicated he chose not to respond, except making the
comment of consider the source, noting Mr. Kelliher continued to make comments after receiving
an email from Mr. Perrault explaining the truth of the matter. He stated he received a lengthy
email from Mr. Kelliher again last week in which he asserted the same false arguments and that
included a series of insults. Following this, he responded that he was tired of the insults,
accusations and that the discussion should discontinue. He explained he suggested he make public
the email from City Administrator Perrault in order to bring the truth to light and Mr. Kelliher
took this as a threat. He presented to the City Clerk the email from Mr. Perrault to Mr. Kelliher
dated Friday, April 12, 2024 and asked that it be made part of the public record.
Councilmember Fabel explained the City has had two nice graduation ceremonies at Irondale
and Mounds View High Schools. He extended his congratulations to each of the recent graduates.
Councilmember Holden reported she struggled with understanding Councilmember Fabel's
comments knowing full well that he supported other residents making false statements against the
Mayor and herself. She stated she had a great working relationship with the City's consultants and
developers. She indicated when Ryan Companies was developing the TCAAP site she was asked
to fly to Washington DC with them to meet with GSA and the Army. She commented she also
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JUNE 10, 2024 9
served on the NYFS Board for over 10 years. While she did not like anyone on the Council to be
picked on, she also believed residents had the right to speak.
Councilmember Holden indicated she was concerned with the fact there have been five Planning
Commission meetings this year and the Council liaison has only attended one of the meetings.
She suggested another Councilmember be appointed in order to have a liaison in attendance.
Mayor Grant stated he and Councilmember Monson would be meeting with Xcel Energy on
Tuesday, June 11 to discuss the Partners In Energy program.
Mayor Grant explained he found Councilmember Fabel's comments interesting that TCAAP
would break even or even come out positive. He reported in light of staff s conversations with the
County, a funding gap was real and a solution has yet to be found. He discussed how TIF would
be a difficult option for the City.
Mayor Grant stated the Arden Hills Foundation sponsored a scholarship for a Mounds View
School District graduate. He noted this scholarship was presented to an Arden Hills resident this
year.
Councilmember Rousseau stated the committee and commission members were volunteers that
work to make the City better. She believed their experience should be positive. She encouraged
residents to treat these volunteers with respect.
Councilmember Rousseau explained she missed three Planning Commission meetings this year,
noting she missed one because she was attending a Council worksession to meet with Amy from
the LMC. She indicated she missed another meeting because there was only one item on the
agenda that was then placed on Council consent.
Councilmember Rousseau reported two PTRC members would like to add a communication on
rain gardens to Night to Unite packets. She indicated the PTRC members would be meeting with
neighborhood captains and Ramsey County deputies on Wednesday, July 17. She asked if this
was something the Council could support.
Councilmember Holden stated she would support this.
Councilmember Rousseau explained the PTRC would also like to put an article in an upcoming
City newsletter as well.
Councilmember Rousseau asked if the Perry Park bathroom lock was installed.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated this would be completed the third
week of June.
Councilmember Rousseau welcomed Katie Stromberg to the Planning Commission.
Mayor Grant indicated he also went through the rain gardens in the Glen Hill neighborhood and
he believed they were working quite well after the two 2" rain events. He recommended the
thistles within the rain gardens be removed given the fact they were a noxious weed.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 8, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer
Jeff Frid, Public Works Superintendent
SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewer Lift Station #2 Rehabilitation Project
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$115,000 $145,677 Sanitary Sewer Fund
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Quote from Electric Pump in the amount of $145,177 plus $500 for estimated freight
charge for the Lift Station #2 Rehabilitation project. (Attachment B)
Background/Discussion
In the 2024-2028 CIP, Lift Station 2 is scheduled for rehabilitation in 2024 (Attachment A). Lift
Station #2 is located south of County Rd E2 and east of Perry Park. This station overwent its last
major rehabilitation project in 2003. During this project, the wet well plumbing, valves, and
pumps were installed. Since 2003, the pumps were replaced in 2011, at this time the control
panel was also replaced. Staff has determined the useful life for the pumps is 10 to 13 years.
With daily runtimes ranging from 5-10 hours, this lift station receives considerable flows and is
vital to the sanitary sewer system.
Staff completed a lift station assessment, considering the condition of the control panel, wet well,
valves, and pumps. As a result of the assessment staff worked with Electric Pump to create the
scope of the rehab project. Electric Pump's proposal includes the necessary bypass pumping for
the wet well improvements and pump replacement.
Page 1 of 2
Budget Impact
The Sanitary Sewer Fund has $115,000 budgeted for this work. During the proposal discussions
with the contractor, due to the location and access issues of Lift Station 2 and the significant bypass
pumping needs, the cost of the rehabilitation is greater than what was expected while budgeting
for this project. The actual cost of the project is $30,677 over the budgeted amount.
