ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 25, 2016 6 <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a <br />motion to approve the Certificate of Completion and Release pertaining to the <br />Development Agreement between Josephine East, LLC and the City of Arden <br />Hills for the property at 3177 Shoreline Lane. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes was not aware that the City was considering to push through Shoreline <br />Lane. She was concerned with the fact the City did not properly manage the escrow situation and <br />stated that she would not be supporting this request until she had additional information from <br />staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung and Councilmember Holden removed their motion from the floor. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a <br />motion to table action on this item to the February 8, 2016, City Council <br />meeting. The motion carried 4-1 (McClung opposed). <br /> <br />8. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />9. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Update on City Administrator Hiring Process <br /> <br />Mayor Grant reported that he and Councilmember Holden sit on the Personnel Committee. <br />This group had started the negotiation process with a City Administrator candidate and an offer <br />was extended. He reported that the Personnel Committee was not able to come to terms with the <br />applicant and the position was declined. This action removed the applicant from the pool. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated that another individual from a neighboring state was recommended by the <br />consulting firm. He indicated that Interim City Administrator/Director of Finance and <br />Administrative Services Iverson held an informal conversation with the Council regarding this <br />matter and two were in favor of moving forward and two were not. He explained that at this time, <br />the City may have to relist the position and create a new candidate pool for this summer. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung supported the Council moving forward in this manner in order to <br />generate a more highly qualified candidate pool. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden commented that she could wait until this summer as well. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant indicated that the consulting search firm has stated that the candidate pool was <br />limited at this time for City Administrator positions. <br />
