<br />Attachment A <br />Commission and Committee: <br />Committee Name: <br />Parks Trailsand Recreation Committee (PTRC) <br />A.General Purpose for Committees and Task Forces: <br />While the City Council and City Staff have the sole responsibility for all activities within the City <br />of Arden Hills, from time to time they find it desirable, advantageous, and necessary to bring <br />together residents of Arden Hills in order to broaden and enrich the discussion around possible <br />decisions. As an example, the City Council’s ability to debate and consider far-ranging <br />alternatives is stifled by the risk that the mere discussion of alternatives will engender them with <br />undeserved merit. In addition, Arden Hills will alwaysseek to hire the most qualified and <br />capable employees, but in doing so we will frequently hire staff that is not intimately connected <br />to the Arden Hills neighborhoods. Therefore, it is critical that the City create a mechanism where <br />the City Staff can get unfettered and unbiased reaction to their novel thoughts and ideas. <br />The Commission, Committee, and Task Forces are established to broaden and enrich the content <br />that will ultimately be enacted or authorized by the elected City Council. <br />B.Mission/Purpose: <br />Parks, trails, recreationand natural resourcesin Arden Hills increase the desirability of the city as <br />a place to live or work, enhance the health and well-being of citizens and guests, and improve the <br />value of citizens’ property.
