ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—February 20, 2007 Councilmember Dave McClung said that he had no problems with the work session schedule,but • he just wants to make sure that there is flexibility for the City Council to discuss other items that may arise. Councilmember David Grant said that he likes the idea of having a work session work plan. Mayor Harpstead noted that he would like for the City Council to consider having work session meetings at other locations throughout the City. This may get more people involved in local government.
