ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — AUGUST 14, 2023 4 <br />9. PULLED CONSENT ITEMS <br />A. Motion To Approve State of the City Scheduling <br />Councilmember Monson stated she would like the Council to consider moving the State of the <br />City from January 6 to January 20. She believed this would line up nicely given the fact the <br />Council typically cancels its second meeting in January. <br />Councilmember Rousseau supported this recommendation, noting she would like the event held <br />on January 20 or January 27. <br />Councilmember Holden expressed frustration with the fact a date cannot be picked for the State <br />of the City. She indicated previous discussions led her to believe the event should be held the first <br />Saturday of January and now it was being pushed back to the end of January. <br />Mayor Grant questioned if action on this item should be tabled to a future worksession in order <br />to allow Councilmember Fabel to weigh in on this item. <br />Councilmember Monson stated she was asking to move the meeting by two weeks which would <br />allow staff more time to prepare for the meeting after the holidays. <br />MO ION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a <br />motion to Approve the State of the City be scheduled for January 20, 2024. <br />The motion carried 3-1 (Mayor Grant opposed). <br />B. Motion to Approve Resignation of Public Works Maintenance Employee <br />City Administrator Perrault stated a Public Works Maintenance Worker submitted their <br />resignation and had their last day on August IIth. This action will officially accept their <br />resignation. Under a separate item the Council will consider approval to begin the recruitment <br />process for the position. <br />Councilmember Rousseau asked what the ramifications would be if the resignation were denied. <br />City Administrator Perrault explained sadly this employee has already started a new job and <br />noted the requested action was a formality. He stated that as City Administrator he does not have <br />the authority to hire or accept resignations and that the City Council must approve such. <br />MO ION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a <br />motion to Approve Resignation of Public Works Maintenance Employee. <br />The motion carried (4-0). <br />10.
