Pk VA ea ( rau(t Attachment B To: Mayor David Grant ` Fr: Councilmember Thomas Fabel 1 CC's to: City Administrator David Perrault and City Clerk Julie Hanson Re: Motions to be included on City Council Agenda for January 9 Council meeting Date: January 3, 2023 Mayor: The following motions are required for consideration by the Council at its first formal meeting in January, scheduled for January 9. The motions are necessary to fulfill the intent of the voters of Arden Hills, as expressed in the recent election. As you know, the voters by substantial majorities elected a new Council majority, consisting of Tena Monson, Emily Rousseau and myself, who had campaigned for office as a team under the banner "Advance Arden Hills" (AAH). The AAH team distributed multiple pieces of literature to every residence in the City, clearly expressing our intent, if elected, to pursue new directions for City governance, most immediately and prominently on the issue of a development agreement for the TCAAP property. A package of that literature, together with the election results, is being filed with the City Clerk for the public record. To fulfill the mandate now provided by the voters, the Council must consider the following motions. 1) Motion to remove David Grant and Brian Holmes from appointed positions on the Joint Development Authority. (Authorities: Minn. Stat. Sec. 412.111; Arden Hills City Code Sec. 220.01 Subd. 8) 2) Motion to temporarily suspend mayoral privilege of appointments under Arden Hills City Code Sections 220.01 Subdivisions 4, 10, 13 and 14 and 220.03 Subd.1(Authorities: Minn.
