Committee Expectations: <br />While the work required of PTRC members will vary both across members and across time, the <br />following expectations are generally held of all committee members: <br />1. The interests of Arden Hills and its citizens are foremost <br />2. Participation of PTRC members is key to their contribution <br />a.

Some of the work of the PTRC is in areas of subjective judgment, where there is not <br />enough hard information to make the decisions that are necessary. Members who are <br />
