ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JANUARY 9, 2023 2 <br />Councilmember Holden expressed concern with how the open meeting laws may have been <br />broken and questioned how Councilmember Fabel knew how the majority of the Council would <br />be voting. <br />Mayor Grant reported he would like the Council to discuss the logic behind the Mayoral <br />appointments. He requested the agenda remain as is. <br />Councilmember Fabel stated the order of the agenda should be amended because it would be <br />much more logical to look at these items at the end of the meeting. He reported no open meeting <br />violations have occurred. He explained the current Council majority was a group of people that <br />had worked very closely together for several months to address the issues that were of great <br />importance to the City, including TCAAP. He noted the new majority is of one mind and that the <br />three had attended many meetings together prior to becoming public officials. He understood the <br />history of what the new majority of the Council wanted to accomplish. He asked that the question <br />be called. <br />Councilmember Holden stated if the new Councilmembers were of one mind, she would not <br />need to show up for future meetings since the new three members already knew they would all be <br />voting the same. She expressed great concern over this. <br />Mayor Grant explained to the public that calling the question meant that the discussion ends, <br />and is appropriate under Robert's Rules of Order. <br />Mayor Grant noted he would be requesting that staff complete a roll call vote. <br />A roll call vote was taken. The motion to move New Business item 10A to the <br />end of New Business carried 3-2 (Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant <br />opposed). <br />Mayor Grant asked for further amendments to the agenda. <br />MOTION: Mavor Grant moved and Councilmember Fabel seconded a motion to auurove <br />the meeting agenda as amended to discuss the Public Inquiries process prior <br />to Item 2, moving Item 4A the Public Inquiries process discussion, and <br />moving Consent Agenda Item 7K to Item 8A. A roll call vote was taken. The <br />motion carried (5-0). <br />Public Inquiries Process Discussion <br />Councilmember Holden requested the Council hold a discussion on how Public Inquiries would <br />be managed. She questioned if the Council wanted to allow the public to speak under each <br />agenda item or if public comments should be taken under Public Inquiries. She suggested people <br />be allowed to speak for more than three minutes under Public Inquiries and that members of the <br />public be allowed to speak on any topic on the agenda. <br />Mayor Grant supported the rules for Public Inquiries being reworded. He understood the public <br />supported there being more opportunities for public comment. <br />
