ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—NOVEMBER 15, 2021 9 <br /> City Administrator Perrault commented a person at this level would give the City the ability to <br /> complete feasibility reports and construction observation, but full plans would still require the <br /> assistance of a consultant. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she believed this was a great idea. <br /> Councilmember Holmes suggested the new person be in charge of the vehicle maintenance <br /> schedule. <br /> Councilmember McClung supported the new position. <br /> City Administrator Perrault questioned how the City should recruit for this position. He noted <br /> the City could post for the position and see what candidates apply, or staff could approach a <br /> candidate that they have in mind for the position. <br /> Councilmember Holden supported staff trying to hire someone as quickly as possible for this <br /> position. <br /> Mayor Grant concurred and noted if this individual was not available, then the City would have <br /> to post for the position. <br /> H. Committees/Commissions Discussion <br /> City Administrator Perrault stated the City Council requested a discussion on <br /> Committee/Commission members and term limits. A verbal update will be provided to the City <br /> Council. Below is the City Code language regarding term lengths. <br /> Subdivision 7: Length of Term. Unless otherwise specifically provided, each Member of any <br /> Board, Committee, Commission or other appointed body shall serve for a term of three (3) <br /> years. <br /> A. Number of Terms. Each Member may serve for no more than three (3) consecutive <br /> three-year terms. <br /> B. Staggered Terms. One-third of each Board, Committee, Commission or other <br /> appointed body shall be appointed at the beginning of each fiscal year. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked how many people would be impacted if a term limit were to be <br /> set. <br /> City Administrator Perrault explained this would impact eight serving Commission members. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated because this language was in place, she supported the City <br /> enforcing it. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if this language applied to alternate members. <br />
