ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – FEBRUARY 24, 2015 2 Councilmember Holden agreed stating that the City did not have the time or resources available right now to train in a new City Administrator. She supported the proposed flex hour schedule for the City Administrator. City Administrator Klaers indicated that either party would be able to cancel the addendum to his employment agreement with 30 days notice if the new schedule was not working. Councilmember Woodburn asked if the 10 hour reduction in the work week would allow for his work to still be completed. Mayor Grant anticipated that some work may have to be delegated. He believed that 2016 would be a better time to make a transition in the City Administrator position. Councilmember McClung was willing to support the new work schedule for the City Administrator, but he expressed concern in regard to tasks that may potentially fall through the cracks. Councilmember Woodburn supported the recommendation of the Personnel Committee. Mayor Grant suggested that this matter be brought back to the Council for formal approval at the next regular City Council meeting. B. TCAAP Community Development Director Hutmacher explained that the complete final draft of the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) was presented to the City Council on February 2, 2015. Since that meeting, staff and consultants have made additional edits for clarity.
