ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—March 28, 2011 16 <br /> 9. Council Comments (continued) <br /> Councilmember Tamble stated that as liaison for the Communications Committee, he would like <br /> to bring forward a memo describing new technologies and ideas to the next City Council work <br /> session. <br /> Mayor Grant requested this item be added to the next City Council work session. <br /> Councilmember Holmes expressed concerns about the City not being informed about the U.S. <br /> Fish and Wildlife Service plans for Round Lake. She stated the City needs to look into this matter <br /> because this is a significant development and could have a great impact on the community. <br /> City Administrator Patrick Klaers stated he will look into this and report to the City Council <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated she was surprised to see in the minutes from the March 21 <br /> Sheriff's Contracted Cities meeting, the comment made by Terry Schwerin. He had stated that <br /> some communities paid more because they feel it is the right thing to do. She stated the formula <br /> that Ramsey County cities are using is not balanced. If all the cities are sharing the services then <br /> they should cost the same on a per capita basis. She stated the City had looked at working with <br /> New Brighton in the past for police services and it may be appropriate to do so again. She <br /> suggested Staff look for alternatives to the City's police protection before the current contract with <br /> Ramsey County expires. <br /> Mayor Grant stated he would agree with Councilmember Holmes and the City should meet with <br /> the Ramsey County Sheriff to find out what level of service they are paying for what they could <br /> expect for services and response time. <br /> Mayor Grant stated he did not know if municipal consent would be reconsidered but there could <br /> be a chance that this item would be brought back to the Council for consideration. The Council <br /> majority would have to vote in favor of reconsidering this item. He clarified he did not expect the <br /> City to reconsider their decision but because one Councilmember was not in attendance they may <br /> request the item be brought back for reconsideration. <br /> ADJOURN <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Tamble seconded a <br /> motion to ad'ourn. The motion carried unanimously 4-0 . <br /> Mayor Grant adjourned the Regular City Council Meeting at 9:54 p.m. <br /> Patrick Klaers David Grant <br /> City Administrator Mayor <br />
