ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 6, 2021 4 <br /> Councilmember Scott pointed out that the Ramsey County Board was floating the idea of <br /> eliminating the Sheriff as an elected official as that position does not report directly to the Ramsey <br /> County Board. <br /> Councilmember Holden indicated that the Sheriff's position reports to the Charter Commission. <br /> The Council consensus was for Mayor Grant to sign the letter from the contract cities to Ramsey <br /> County as drafted on behalf of Arden Hills. <br /> 5. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember Scott stated that his wife has had a number of community members approach <br /> her expressing their regrets regarding the passing of Councilmember McClung and so he was <br /> passing this on to the City Council. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated she would like to know who, such as a paraprofessional, is <br /> directing traffic at Mounds View High School. She suggested that City Administrator Perrault <br /> respond to the letter the Council received asking for clarification of this situation and find out <br /> what training the staff member that is directing traffic has received. <br /> Councilmember Holmes questioned who would be responsible should any problems or accidents <br /> occur. <br /> City Administrator Perrault stated that the City Attorney had indicated that the "traffic <br /> generator", in this case, the School District, would be responsible. <br /> Councilmember Holmes commented on an email received from Northern Soda, stating she <br /> forward it to Jessica Jagoe, City Planner. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if the City provides New Resident packets to new residents of <br /> Arden Hills. <br /> City Administrator Perrault said that currently this is not the case,but that this could be brought <br /> forward to a future work session for discussion. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she has received emails from residents about the pedestrian <br /> crossing at County Road F and Snelling Avenue. She has contacted Public Works Director <br /> Swearingen about this. <br /> Councilmember Holden indicated there is an opportunity for an Emerald Ash Borer grant. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she had the chance to spend time with Councilmember McClung <br /> the day before he passed away and that he was very peaceful. <br /> A short discussion ensued regarding the Fire Department Board meeting on Wednesday, <br /> December 8. City Administrator Perrault indicated he would attend and report back to the City <br /> Council. <br />
