ARDEN HILLS JOINT COUNCIL WORK SESSION—JANUARY 30, 2012 4 B2 Implementation project, the CAC is expected to meet 3 times. They will likely meet during the work day. Phase I should take about six months to complete and the committee will probably continue to meet throughout the project (to be completed in about 2015). This appointment does not need to be part of the Organizational Resolution as it will be a short term type of appointment. The B2 CAC will include Councilmembers, business owners and the staff/consultant management team.. He suggested that Councilmembers Holmes and Werner be appointed as Council representatives to the CAC. Councilmember Werner is scheduled to be appointed to the EDC and has expressed interest in this B2 Committee and Councilmember Holmes has previously expressed concerns over the current B2 plan and has also expressed interest in being on this committee. Staff will also be looking for Council direction regarding the appointment of business owners onto the CAC. • Someone from the Council should be appointed to the Ramsey County League of Local Governments (RCLLG). City Administrator Klaers explained that he is the Alternate and either the representative or the Alternate can vote at the Board meeting. The RCLLG meets about 6 times a year at night for 2 hours and the Board usually meets prior to the RCLLG at 5:30 p.m. for 1 hour. • There does not appear to be a need for a Council appointment and a staff member to both attend the Karth Lake meetings. This group meets at 7:00 p.m. on a quarterly basis. The meetings are scheduled for the second Tuesday of April, July, October, and December. Typically, some of these meetings get cancelled.
