ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — APRIL 17, 2023 11 <br />Councilmember Fabel wondered why we would give them money to do all the things they would <br />be doing with us anyway. <br />Councilmember Holden asked Community Development Director Jagoe if she thought it was a <br />good idea. <br />Community Development Director Jagoe said it is a new program for the Chamber as an <br />initiative to work directly with the manufacturing community and Mounds View High School. <br />They haven't set up the framework of how the students would work with manufacturing but she <br />felt there was a benefit to getting the high schoolers familiar with the community and creating that <br />workforce. <br />Councilmember Holden felt it was a good cause to get kids involved with careers. <br />Mayor Grant added it also give the manufacturing sector a vehicle to get together with the <br />students. <br />Community Development Director Jagoe stated they had identified a list of businesses that have <br />a manufacturing component and sent the information to them. <br />Councilmember Monson supported the idea as a good pro -business approach. <br />Councilmember Rousseau agreed but would also like to know how it works out. <br />City Administrator Perrault said the article in the newsletter regarding Just Deeds would be out <br />shortly, so he was confirming with Council that they'd like staff to go ahead with the next step of <br />sending out letters to those affected. <br />Mayor Grant re -affirmed that was the direction. <br />ADJOURN <br />Mayor Grant adjourned the City Council Work Session at 7:19 p.m. <br />Jolene Trauba <br />Deputy City Clerk <br />David Grant <br />Mayor <br />
