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 /> MOTION: 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 /> MOTION: 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.
