ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – DECEMBER 13, 2021 2 <br /> <br />squandered $300,000 on legal fees. He noted he misspoke because the City Attorney bills out at <br />$155 per hour. He discussed density and affordable housing on TCAAP asked why the Council <br />opposes more density and affordable housing in Rice Creek Commons. He questioned why <br />residents should oppose a higher density within Rice Creek Commons if it adds to the economic <br />viability of the project and does not adversely affect them. He encouraged the Council to consider <br />holding an honest dialogue regarding Rice Creek Commons. <br /> <br />Lynn Diaz, 1143 Ingerson Road, offered her condolences to the City Council and to <br />Councilmember Dave McClung’s family. She thanked the City Councilmembers for their service <br />to the community. She reported at the last meeting she questioned why the Council has done little <br />to address the City’s affordable housing goals listed within the Comprehensive Plan. She <br />discussed current affordable housing in the City. She requested the Council provide residents with <br />further information and transparency on their position when it comes to affordable housing. She <br />reported this information would be valuable to the taxpayers and voters in the community. <br /> <br />3. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />4.
