<br />I <br />I <br />~ <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />.. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />Ie <br />I <br /> <br />Arden Hills Council <br /> <br />April 21, 1994 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />Ms. piotrowski stated she had already made an initial <br />contact with one business who might be interested in <br />locating to Arden Hills, and she wanted to proceed with <br />pursuit of this business. Mayor Sather stated he was <br />acceptable to Mr. McGraw and Ms. piotrowski pursuing new <br />businesses relocating to Arden Hills, however, he would like <br />to revisit this concept by year end. He indicated that any <br />site plans or development information was to be forwarded by <br />the Planning Coordinator and costs must be preapproved by <br />the Administrator. He further noted the importance of <br />keeping the lines of communication open with the Economic <br />Development Committee members. <br /> <br />Ms. Piotrowski thanked the Council for their time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Probst noted his disappointment that the <br />Planning Commission members would not take the time to visit <br />with the Council to discuss their goals and mission <br />statement. He further stated that the Commission members <br />had previously noted their agreement of meeting with the <br />Council a couple of times per year, and in fact, were in <br />favor of this open line of communication. This had not <br />happened. Council concurred, and expressed the need to <br />further discuss the future of this Commission, specifically <br />their duties and responsibilities. <br /> <br />FINANCE COMMITTEE <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone, liaison to the Finance Committee <br />introduced the Finance Committee Chair, chuck Mertensotto. <br /> <br />Mr. Mertensotto stated this committee had two new members <br />appointed recently and their input was much appreciated. <br /> <br />Mr. Mertensotto stated the mission statement and goals were <br />given to staff liaison, Terry Post. Mr. Post was unable to <br />attend the meeting, therefore a copy of the mission <br />statement and goals would be provided to the Council at a <br />later date. He stated the direction this committee had <br />taken was to review areas in which the City could reduce the <br />expense of employee salaries and benefits. He explained <br />that the community tax base had decreased tremendously, and <br />as residents in the community, they need to review how to <br />cut costs in City services, as the taxpayers in the <br />community do not want to see large property tax increases in <br />the future. <br /> <br />The Committee would be working with the staff to identify <br />possible cost savings in staff areas, as well as income <br />
