.... ........... .. <br /> Council/Staff Interviews <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> January 20 thru February 3, 2011 <br /> Introduction• <br /> Interviews were conducted during the above time period with the five <br /> members of the City Council and four members of the management staff. <br /> The purpose of the interviews was to gather opinions from City officials on <br /> the significant issues facing Arden Hills in the next two years and to solicit <br /> their feelings about the general climate between Staff and the City Council. <br /> The participants were advised that their comments would be confidential and <br /> that issues raised by more than two respondents would come forward for <br /> discussion. <br /> I would like to thank everyone for their candor and thoughtfulness. <br /> Critical Issues: <br /> The Council and Staff were encouraged to offer their thoughts on major <br /> issues for the City in general, as well as in their areas of responsibility. <br /> Below you will find a list of those issues identified. There was general <br /> consistency in the issues identified and those listed below had a majority of <br /> the participants asking to have them discussed. <br /> Twin Cities Arsenal Development <br /> TCAAP has obviously been on everyone's radar for many <br /> years. With the latest conversations around the stadium issue, <br /> there is an expressed need to revisit the City's role in <br /> development options, understanding what the jurisdictional <br /> roles will be and how Arden Hills might coordinate with the <br /> business community to encourage and have input into possible <br /> development scenarios. What are the consequences to the City <br /> of rapid and large scale development? <br />
