ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION APRIL 17, 2023 7 <br />C. Proclamation Discussion <br />City Administrator Perrault noted that in the past proclamations have been done for Public <br />Works Week, Police Week, Night to Unite and when a long-standing employee resigns. <br />Councilmember Holden said there were standards set when Communications was building the <br />new website and social media guidelines. <br />Mayor Grant said he contacted another community and they are in line with what we do, but they <br />did add Arbor Day. They cautioned him about opening up to any proclamation because they've <br />received requests they didn't want to entertain. <br />City Administrator Perrault reported that he had reached out to a few other cities, some do very <br />few proclamations, but others like Roseville, do a lot. <br />Mayor Grant said they could get a proclamation request of something unusual and then they end <br />up debating the merits. Some proclamations could render themselves political in nature. <br />Councilmember Holden said they have received conflicting proclamation requests. <br />Councilmember Fabel felt they didn't need a policy but wasn't in favor of the Council getting <br />wrapped up in a hot button political issue that is divisive within the community. He offered a <br />compromise that in order to issue a proclamation there would have to be a super majority <br />approval. <br />Mayor Grant asked if he was suggesting that if staff received a request they would query the <br />Council to see where they were at? <br />Councilmember Fabel thought staff could inform Councilmembers of requests and any <br />proclamation could come forward from a councilmember as a motion requiring super majority <br />approval. <br />Councilmember Monson was concerned about political requests that have nothing to do with the <br />city. She's not interested in those but also doesn't want to be too rigid. She suggested maybe they <br />could be brought to a work session first to see if there was consent to have it brought forward. <br />Councilmember Holden felt the items need to be related to the City. <br />Mayor Grant agreed that historically Council hasn't gone beyond city issues; public works, <br />police etc. <br />Councilmember Rousseau thought no one would get proclamation happy. If they see something <br />they are passionate about that could have an impact on our community it could get talked about at <br />a work session or at the end of a Council meeting. <br />Mayor Grant said once you open it up you will get proclamation requests from all kinds of <br />agencies. He felt they should all think about it and bring this item back for further discussion at a <br />future work session. <br />
