HomeMy WebLinkAboutCC 06-08-1992 e . . Arden Hills Council 16 June 8, 1992 Councilmember Malone said it is important to note that most comments received this evening regarding Keithson Pond were simply accusations and misstatements of fact, but did not deal with the assessment per se. Councilmember Mahowald advised that in reviewing his calendar, he realized he will not be in attendance at the June 29 Council meeting, and asked if Council would consider rescheduling the continuation of Keithson Pond assessment hearing until July 13 so he could be in attendance. Engineer Graham reminded Council that all the residents present this evening were informed that the meeting would continue on June 29; if Council reschedules, renotification of all residents would be necessary. MOTION: Mahowald moved, seconded by Hicks, to move the continuation of Keithson Pond Assessment Hearing from June 29, 1992 to 7:30 p.m. on July 13, 1992, and direct staff to provide proper notice to residents. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). Mayor sather commented that although it was not brought up at this evening's hearing, at one time the City Engineer and the Keithson developer were ready to reshape the pond and residents of the area stopped that action. He reminded that residents have not supported the City throughout the entire issue. He stated he would prefer to take action soon to bring this issue to a close rather than chasing the issue of past responsibility which does not appear to be cost effective. BUDGET INFORMATION (This item was moved from Consent Calendar for the purpose of discussion.) Councilmember Malone referred to the direction given at the last Council meeting for the Public works Superintendent and Parks Director to analyze and report regarding 1991 budget variances. Malone said he was satisfied with the completeness of the report regarding the 1991 Park Program Fund deficit provided by Mr. Post, but was not satisfied with the reporting of public works variances provided by Mr. Winkel. Councilmember Mahowald commented that he too had questions after reviewing Winkel's analysis of Public Works variances. REGIONAL TRANSIT BOARD Mayor Sather announced that the Regional Transit Board has officially approved the new mass transit plan (with minor e . .
