ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—DECEMBER 21, 2015 7 <br /> G. Prioritization of TCAAP Goals <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 /> Community Development Director Hutmacher said the County will not be able to prioritize their <br /> goals by the January 4, 2016, JDA meeting. <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 /> 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 /> It was decided the Council will wait until they are at full complement to complete their prioritized <br /> goals. <br /> H. Discussion Regarding Appointing Council Liaisons to Commissions and Committees <br /> A discussion ensued regarding the various Council liaison appointments. The following lists the 2016 <br /> assignments: <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 /> Mayor Grant indicated the Mayor Pro Tern will be addressed later. <br /> I. 2016 Employee Compensation Plan—Non-Union Employees <br /> Mayor Grant indicated the non-union COLA was budgeted at 3% and previously tabled for further <br /> discussion. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she would like to wait until union negotiations are complete before <br /> moving forward with this item. <br />
