ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JANUARY 9, 2023 <br />20 <br />A roll call vote was taken. The motion to approve the Ramsey County <br />Cooperative Agreement for Right of Way Acquisition and Design for <br />Reconstruction of the Intersection of Old Snelling Avenue and County Road <br />E carried 3-2 (Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant opposed). <br />9. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />None. <br />10. NEW BUSINESS <br />B. Mayoral Privilege <br />City Administrator Perrault stated at the request of Councilmember Fabel, this item has been <br />brought forward for consideration. Chapter 2 of City Code calls for the Mayor to make <br />appointments to the City's Committees and Commissions pending the City Council's approval of <br />the appointments (Code Sections 220.01 Subdivisions 4, 10, 13 and 14 and 220.03 Subd. 1). This <br />action would suspend the requirement that appointments be made by the Mayor. The authority to <br />suspend this privilege has been identified by Councilmember Fabel in Minn. Stat. Sec. 412.111; <br />Arden Hills City Code Sections 210.03 Subd. 5 (D); 210.04 Subdivisions 1 and 2. <br />Councilmember Fabel reviewed the motion with the Council, which was to temporarily suspend <br />Mayoral privilege as it relates to the Mayor's authority to make appointments to City Committees <br />and Commissions. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Fabel moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a motion <br />to temporarily suspend Mayoral Privilege as it relates to the Mayor's <br />authority to make appointments to City Committees and Commissions as <br />outlined in Chapter 2 of the City's Ordinance. <br />Mayor Grant stated a motion has been made that would suspend his privilege as Mayor to <br />organize the City. <br />Councilmember Fabel reported the Mayor misstated his motion. He explained the motion has <br />nothing to do with the Mayor's ability to organize the City. He noted the Mayor would have the <br />same power as he had before. He stated Arden Hills was a statutory city and under statutory cities <br />there was a weak Mayor system. He indicated a Mayor in a statutory city has the same power as <br />every other member of the Council. Under State law, the only difference between the Mayor and <br />every other member is that the Mayor presides over the meeting, signs City contracts and he <br />appears for the City in public presentations. In terms of power to decide, or power to govern, the <br />power is the same between the Mayor and all other Councilmembers in a statutory City. He <br />commented further on how St. Paul and Minneapolis were charter cities. <br />Mayor Grant asked the public to hold their comments at this time. <br />
