<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Work Session Meeting for February 4, 2015 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Planning Commission\Work Plan\2015 <br /> <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />participate. To date there are still some that have not completed the course. The League, which <br />provides liability insurance to Arden Hills, has found that cities that have Commissioners and <br />Councilmembers who are educated about land use law and make sound rulings are less likely to <br />be sued, or to lose lawsuits when they are filed. The website-based training is designed to make <br />land use decisions less confusing, and will help cities avoid expensive land use claims and <br />lawsuits. If you have not taken the online course please do so at your early convenience. <br /> <br />Government Training Services (GTS) also offers land use planning courses. Additional <br />information regarding dates and locations for that series will be emailed out to the City Council <br />and Planning Commission as they are made available by GTS. These courses are designed for <br />Councilmembers and Planning Commissioners, and are typically offered in full and half day <br />sessions throughout the Twin Cities. The courses are very well done and provide a wealth of <br />information regarding land use fundamentals. Planning Commissioners are required to <br />participate in at least one of the GTS courses during their term in order to be appointed to a <br />subsequent term. <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Review the Draft 2015 Work Plan and provide input. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A.
