ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 12, 2018 8 <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault reported the expense for the additional hours would cost the City <br />$3,600 and he believed that staff has demonstrated the need for the additional work. He explained <br />the work would be beneficial to the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she would still like to wait to expand the hours until after the <br />Council retreat was held. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung commented staff was not requesting a great deal of money for the <br />extended hours, which was a plus for him. He noted the five items listed by staff would be nice to <br />have completed, however he too supported the Council providing more direction to staff before <br />work began on these tasks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes supported the extended hours beginning after the Council retreat as <br />well. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she could support the Communications Coordinator working on <br />TCAAP and the website now. She recommended work on the other items be held off until after <br />the Council retreat discussion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott indicated he did not oppose the extended hours beginning right away <br />given the amount of work the Communications Coordinator was facing with the website, the City <br />newsletter and TCAAP communications. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant proposed the Communications Coordinator be allowed to have six weeks of <br />extended hours and that further consideration on the prescribed work list be given at the Council <br />retreat. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to approve the temporary increase for the Communications <br />Coordinators hours for up to six weeks for TCAAP and website development <br />work. The motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br />10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />11. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott stated last month he attended the League of Minnesota Cities conference <br />for experienced officials. He discussed the sessions he attended during the event. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott noted he attended two neighborhood meetings last week for the upcoming <br />street reconstruction projects. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes commented Arden Hills was no longer in the running for the Amazon <br />headquarters. She discussed the great press the Minneapolis/St. Paul area received from the <br />Washington Post and the Star Tribune.
