<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 25,2001 <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated the policy should be that they always do something and then if <br />need be they could do something beyond that. He noted he liked the Proclamation rather than a <br />letter because it looks official and means something more than just a letter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated it was clear this was not an issue about Ms. Chaput. He noted the <br />Council agreed that something should be done, but disagreed on what that should be. He added . <br />it was presumptive of staffto draft this and put it on the consent agenda. He stated a well-written <br />letter, sighed by each council member would be appropriate. He noted a Proclamation declared <br />special events and not the departure of a staff member. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a <br />motion to recognize the departure of any staff member by a letter of <br />Commendation, if it was fitting, and to direct staff to reword the Proclamation as <br />a letter of commendation to be signed by all Councilmembers. The motion carried <br />unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch explained the letter on the north water tower situation. He stated when the tower was <br />emptied it became apparent that additional work was needed. <br /> <br />Mr. Moore noted an independent examination showed that the rust was as bad as the Contractor <br />had indicated and that the work needed to be done. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a motion to <br />approve the completion of the renovations, the extra remobilization and <br />demobilization of the water tower as outlined in the June 20, 2001 letter to Mr. <br />Moore, in the amount of $26,450. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch noted he had hired two new support staff members. He added they would fill the <br />Planner Position and then continue towards working on quotes for job descriptions. <br /> <br />CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION <br /> <br />Mayor Probst adjourned the regular session to an executive session to discuss pending litigation <br />at 8:49 p.m. <br /> <br />RECONVENE <br /> <br />Mayor Probst reconvened the regular session at 9:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that the Council approved settlement ofWC #223, City of Arden Hills vs. <br />Evenson, in the closed executive session. <br /> <br />D. <br /> <br />Minutes Discussion <br />
