ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – NOVEMBER 16, 2020 11 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden supported the Met Council SAC fees being included in the Fee <br />Schedule. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant agreed and recommended the numbers have an asterisk to note the fees were <br />charged by the Met Council and not the City of Arden Hills. <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson asked if the Council wanted to consider inflationary increases for the 2021 <br />business licenses, or should the fees remain as is. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden supported the fees remaining as is. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant agreed and the Council was in concurrence. <br /> <br />E. 2021 Council Liaison and Mayor Pro Tem Appointments Discussion <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson stated each year, a Councilmember is appointed to serve as liaison on the <br />various committees and commissions in the City. She provided current liaison information and <br />requested feedback on how to proceed with the 2021 appointments. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated historically the City Council has provided him with emails regarding their <br />thoughts. He explained he can not guarantee that each Councilmember would receive their <br />requested appointments, but he believed this was the best way to move this item forward. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden recommended the Lake Johanna Fire Department Alternate be changed. <br />She understood that the Alternate had to be a City Councilmember and could not be the Finance <br />Director. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes requested CTV and NYFS be added to the list of appointments. The <br />Council supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden supported the City making a new appointment to NYFS and that this <br />appointment be a Councilmember. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott stated he had no preference. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung commented given how things went the last year, he would like to see <br />a change. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes agreed. <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson reported the Council would be approving the 2021 Council Liaison <br />appointments on December 14. She requested the Council make their requests prior to December <br />9 in order to allow staff enough time to prepare the meeting packets. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated he would provide the assignment information to City Clerk Hanson. <br /> <br />
