ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 22, 2019 6 <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung explained Ramsey County Communications Center went online with <br />an app called Pulse Point. He described how this initiative would assist residents and medical <br />professionals in managing cardiac arrest situations. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden commented on the recent Fire Department report. She expressed <br />concern with the response times within Arden Hills and recommended any new fire stations be <br />considered in Arden Hills to address this concern. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung reported Fire Station No. 4 was maxed out and noted a new Fire <br />Station was needed south of County Road F and west of Victoria. He stated ideally, a station <br />would locate at the corner of County Road F and Lexington Avenue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden commented Paul Beggin received the Paul Harris Achievement Award <br />from the Rotary. She explained the Rotary awards dinner would be held on Thursday, February 7 <br />from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated he has been reviewing several past agendas. He noted there were many that <br />were comprised of consent items only. He proposed the Council hold one official meeting per <br />month at the end of the month and that a second meeting be held only if there was a pressing <br />matter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden indicated she could support this change. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated he was trying to move away from the City holding meetings just for the sake <br />of holding meetings. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung commented he liked this idea. <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson reported this would require an Ordinance amendment if the Council decided <br />to officially hold one regular meeting per month. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to direct staff to look at moving forward with one Council meeting a <br />month. Mayor Grant stated he would work with City Administrator Perrault further on this <br />matter. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault stated there were no pressing EDA matters so the EDA meeting <br />would be canceled for Monday, January 28. <br /> <br />ADJOURN <br /> <br />Mayor Grant adjourned the City Council Work Session at 6:35 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />__________________________ __________________________ <br />Julie Hanson David Grant <br />City Clerk Mayor
