ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – DECEMBER 21, 2015 7 <br /> <br /> <br />G. Prioritization of TCAAP Goals <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated at the JDA meeting on November 2, 2015, the City’s and County’s goals were <br />discussed and each were asked to prioritize these goals. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher said the County will not be able to prioritize their <br />goals by the January 4, 2016, JDA meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated that because the County has not completed their prioritization and <br />considering Arden Hills is short two councilmembers (between one vacancy and Councilmember <br />Holmes not present at this meeting), he would like to wait for Councilmember Holmes to be present <br />and for the appointment of the new councilmember so as to solicit his or her input. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated in his opinion the County wears two hats; one as a governmental <br />entity and one as a developer. He is interested in the County’s approach as a governmental entity <br />because the developer aspect can affect their prioritization of goals. He would like to see a list from the <br />County which is endorsed by their Board as to their goals and priorities, in priority order. <br /> <br />It was decided the Council will wait until they are at full complement to co mplete their prioritized <br />goals. <br /> <br /> <br />H. Discussion Regarding Appointing Council Liaisons to Commissions and Committees <br /> <br />A discussion ensued regarding the various Council liaison appointments. The following lists the 2016 <br />assignments: <br /> <br />Planning Commission – Mayor Grant <br />Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee – Councilmember Holmes <br />Communications Committee – New councilmember <br />Financial Planning and Analysis Committee – Councilmember McClung <br />Lake Johanna Fire Department Board of Directors – Councilmember McClung <br />Economic Development Committee – Councilmember Holden <br />Personnel Committee – Mayor Grant and Councilmember Holden <br />Ramsey County League – New councilmember <br /> <br />Mayor Grant indicated the Mayor Pro Tem will be addressed later. <br /> <br /> <br />I. 2016 Employee Compensation Plan – Non-Union Employees <br /> <br />Mayor Grant indicated the non-union COLA was budgeted at 3% and previously tabled for further <br />discussion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she would like to wait until union negotiations are complete before <br />moving forward with this item. <br />
