ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—FEBRUARY 19, 2013 5 Mayor Grant directed staff to assign it to FPAC, and if it does not get looked at, it will be assigned to staff. Councilmember Holden requested that information be reported back before the end of the year. Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson stated that FPAC meets in March, so it will be discussed as part of the 2013 Work Plan at that meeting. City Administrator Klaers discussed the goals listed under the Administration portion of the goals worksheet.

Councilmember Holden stated that she would like to see less expensive police services. City Administrator Klaers stated that the City is under contract with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. He noted that the City voted against the police budget, but it still passed because of the majority vote of the other members.
