ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — APRIL 10, 2023 4 City Administrator Perrault stated he believed the County was given a three year warranty on this work, but he would have to investigate this matter further. Councilmember Holden indicated she was concerned with the criteria for the sale of the thumb property. She asked if the City's goals and objectives for the TCAAP development would be taken into consideration when this parcel is developed. She suggested a meeting be held to further discuss the Council's goals and objectives. She believed it was time for the City to speak up to ensure their voices were heard. She commented on the numerous tasks that were accomplished on TCAAP over the past 12 years. It was her hope that the County was not looking to build cheap houses on the TCAAP property.
