ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—FEBRUARY 12, 2018 8 <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 /> Councilmember Holden stated she would still like to wait to expand the hours until after the <br /> Council retreat was held. <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 /> Councilmember Holmes supported the extended hours beginning after the Council retreat as <br /> well. <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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> None. <br /> 11. COUNCIL COMMENTS <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 /> Councilmember Scott noted he attended two neighborhood meetings last week for the upcoming <br /> street reconstruction projects. <br /> Councilmember Holmes commented Arden Hills was no longer in the running for the Amazon <br /> headquarters.
