ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL— MAY 14, 2001 9 <br /> Councilmember Grant stated they are looking for direction. He noted in the past they have done <br /> work on sewer water rates and some good work consolidating trash hauling services and <br /> recycling into single day service. He added the group has a lot to offer and the Council should <br /> encourage them. He stated they are willing to work and asking what would the Council would <br /> like them to work on. <br /> Councilmember Rem stated one of the comments made was that they have not had a lot of <br /> direction from the Council. She noted they feel they have worked hard and their work has been <br /> set aside as the Council takes another direction. She added it is good to have resident input on <br /> issues. She noted a pavement management program is one thing that gets put on the back burner. <br /> She added it would be interesting to have someone not involved look at that process. She stated <br /> they could provide some recommendations on how to conduct the public information process. <br /> She noted that it is an area in which the city needs to make some progress. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski stated she favors committees over a task force. She noted they <br /> shortchange themselves if the only committee they have is the Planning Commission. She added <br /> it would then be the only training ground for the Council. She stated obtaining the viewpoint of <br /> people who do not meet the Planning Commission requirements is important. She noted it would <br /> be good to have another group look at an issue and give recommendations back to the Council. <br /> She added they have already dropped two committees. She added she hears what <br /> Councilmember Larson is saying, but there are a lot of people willing to serve and it is good <br /> training. She stated they could help the city on how to do the road improvement program,which <br /> includes how to get it out to people so they understand it. She noted they could utilize them to <br /> talk to the community and use the Committee to get people organized. <br /> Councilmember Larson stated is not speaking against public participation. He noted they have <br /> had more people involved over the last two years because of task forces. He added if one looks <br /> at the committee membership, it is the same people saying the same things. He stated he thinks. <br /> a task force disciplines the city to come up with a specific charge. <br /> Mayor Probst stated there is a fundamental difference. He noted the Parks, Trails and Recreation <br /> Committee has taken an active role making recommendations about the parks. He added they <br /> have taken it upon themselves to take look at parks and make capital budget recommendations. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski stated the Pavement Management Program (PMP) issue is the same <br /> thing. She noted they have not let the Committee do it. She asked why they should not transfer <br /> that power back to that committee. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated with the Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee it is clear what the <br /> scope of their work is. He noted when one looks at the Operation and Finance Committee; it <br /> runs the whole gamut of the city. He stated this group of talented individuals has asked in what <br /> area the Council would like them to specialize. He noted if the Council wants to define narrowly <br /> one specific issue like a task force,the Committee would be agreeable. He added they want to be <br /> of value to the city. <br />
