5. <br /> 6. <br /> 7. <br /> 8. <br /> Planning Commission and City Council Training Opportunities <br /> As part of the 2011 goals, there was discussion about training opportunities for Councilmembers <br /> and Planning Commissioners regarding land use planning and the law. <br /> The League of MN Cities offers an e-learning land use series as part of their loss control program. <br /> All of the Planning Commissioners and Councilmembers were signed up to participate. To date <br /> there are still some that have not completed the course. The League, which provides liability <br /> insurance to Arden Hills,has found that cities that have Commissioners and Councilmembers who <br /> are educated about land use law and make sound rulings are less likely to be sued, or to lose <br /> lawsuits when they are filed. The website-based training is designed to make land use decisions <br /> less confusing, and will help cities avoid expensive land use claims and lawsuits. If you have not <br /> taken the online course please do so. <br /> Government Training Services (GTS) also offers land use planning courses. Additional <br /> information regarding dates and locations for that series have been emailed out to the City Council <br /> and Planning Commission. These courses are designed for Councilmembers and Planning <br /> Commissioners, and are typically offered in full and half day sessions throughout the Twin Cities. <br /> The courses are very well done and provide a wealth of information regarding land use <br /> fundamentals. Several Planning Commissioners have already signed up for upcoming GTS <br /> courses. Planning Commissioners are required to participate in at least one of the GTS courses <br /> during their term in order to be appointed to a subsequent term. <br /> Planning Commission Roles and Responsibilities <br /> At their March 7, 2012, work session,the Planning Commission identified topics for discussion at <br /> the March 19th joint work session. One topic the Planning Commission expressed an interest in <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Planning Commission Meeting for March 19, 2012 <br /> P:IPlanninglCity Council Memos12012W-19-12-PC and CC Joint Work Session-2012 Goals and Project Priorities-Memo.docx <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br />
