ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 26, 2023 13 <br /> <br />Mayor Grant indicated CTV was at the last State of the City and residents could view this event <br />along with each State of the City for the past seven years. He commented there were more people <br />in attendance than just those running for office. He stated the Council remained at the venue after <br />the State of the City to meet with people and answer questions. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated with regard to TCAAP, he was not receiving the PDF’s or documents even <br />after being requested. He reported the information discussed at the JDA Advisory Committee was <br />only available to Councilmember Fabel and he was not allowed to attend these meetings. He <br />noted Councilmember Fabel could open these meetings to the public, but he chooses to not do <br />this. Based on the open meeting law requirements, he cannot discuss what was going on at the <br />JDA meetings with either Councilmember Monson or Councilmember Fabel. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant recommended the Arden Hills Notes include an article on the opening of Rabata. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant explained the City was awarded a grant of $510,000 for sewer and water. He stated <br />the City was grateful for these funds. In addition, the City received $6+ million for a new fire <br />station. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated he received an email from a resident regarding the silt fence for a house <br />being built on Ridgewood Road. He understood the City Administrator received this same email <br />and asked that the Public Works Director receive this email. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported he did receive this email and staff <br />would be reviewing the drainage patterns to ensure water was flowing towards the street. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault stated he received an email from Ms. Swanson who were trying to <br />speak during the Public Inquiry and noted her comment was that her list was a list of questions <br />and not a list of items for discussion at a future open house. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault clarified that the Council was receiving all of the same information <br />for TCAAP, including handouts and summaries. He noted staff was not withholding anything. <br /> <br />ADJOURN <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a <br />motion to adjourn. The motion carried (4-0). <br /> <br />Mayor Grant adjourned the Regular City Council Meeting at 8:40 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />__________________________ __________________________ <br />Julie Hanson David Grant <br />City Clerk Mayor <br />
