Following September’s discussion, Council requested a few changes, <br />such as, clarifying the language under the bonding section. Also, a clarification will be added <br />regarding the timing of construction that will state that a station cannot be built without the <br />mutual consent of all three cities even prior to the June 30, 2026 deadline. The larger issue <br />discussed was the voting structure, the original proposal was Shoreview had three votes, while <br />Arden Hills and North Oaks having one vote each. September’s discussion revolved around the <br />possibility of one vote each. This was brought back for a staff level discussion; it would likely <br />not work with a one vote each scenario for all three cities, but a Shoreview two vote and one vote <br />for Arden Hills and North Oaks was discussed. Council will be asked if they are comfortable <br />with this voting scenario at the work session. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />Attachment A: Updated LJFD JPA <br />Attachment B: September Work Session Memo
