ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JANUARY 9, 2023 32 <br />Councilmember Holden clarified for the record that the years of experience she has a <br />Councilmember was not valued by the three newly elected Councilmembers. She requested Mayor <br />call the question. <br />A roll call vote was taken. The motion to approve appointments as proposed <br />by Councilmember Tom Fabel and to approve appointing Eileen Scott to the <br />Beyond the Yellow Ribbon carried 3-2 (Councilmember Holden and Mayor <br />Grant opposed). <br />Mayor Grant requested the Council consider appointments for the EDC, Ramsey County League, <br />Karth Lake, Twin Cities Gateway. He noted the Council could skip the Cable Commission <br />appointment for the time being noting Craig Wilson was willing to serve through the end of <br />February. <br />Councilmember Holden reported she was not interested in serving on the EDC noting this group <br />does not meet. <br />Mayor Grant stated the Ramsey County League meetings could be attended by all <br />Councilmembers. He recommended Tena Monson serve as the representative for the Karth Lake <br />Improvement District and recommended the Twin Cities Gateway representative be himself. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to <br />appoint Councilmember Brenda Holden to the EDC and Mayor David Grant <br />to the Twin Cities Gateway. <br />Councilmember Holden reported she would not be attending the EDC meetings and requested <br />her name be removed from consideration. She suggested this be an alternate position. <br />AMENDMENT: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a motion <br />to appoint Councilmember Brenda Holden as the EDC Alternate. <br />Councilmember Monson questioned if the EDC appointment should be held off until the EDC <br />begins to meet again. <br />Mayor Grant stated this appointment could be skipped at this time because the EDC was not <br />currently meeting. <br />Councilmember Monson indicated she would like to restate her motion. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to <br />appoint Mayor David Grant to the Twin Cities Gateway. A roll call vote was <br />taken. The motion carried 4-1 (Councilmember Holden opposed). <br />Mayor Grant stated his recommendation for the Ramsey County League was Councilmember <br />Fabel. <br />
