I. I. I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I I- I , . ARDEN HTT.J .~ CITY COUNCll. - JUNE 13, 1994 10 Person responded that the Fire Department has had no response. A report will be submitted as soon as they are contacted. Their opinion is that they still contract through Arden Hills in order to provide services. The Sheriff's Department has Probst noted the good bit of financial news with the TIP payback. Post stated that there is a sunset law on TIP districts. If there is no action for five years, TIP districts are decertified on a pin number basis within the district. As there has been very little action, except the renovation of the rendering plant, that number from the redevelopment district. It is expected that the income will go down significantly when the amount of activity is reviewed. Fritsinger stated that the three or four parcels from the rendering plant will remain in a TIP district. If any developers apply to develop on the property, the City can notify the County for the parcels to be recertified as a TIP district. Probst stated that the lift station seems to be in need of ongoing repairs. He suggested that an overall review of need be held at a future date. Probst requested that a separate record be kept of the City's costs for repairs to the lift station. Mayor Sather stated that he is formally offering his resignation, as he and his wife have sold their home and will be moving July 10, 1994. ms resignation will be effective June 30, 1994. He expressed sincere thanks and appreciation to each Councilmember and staff person for their willingness to work hard for the City. The successes enjoyed could never have happened without the work of the Council and staff. There have been tough times, but actually he can only recall two failures in his ten years of City service: 1) he Council was unsuccessful in attempting to secure property from TCAAP, and 2) the referendum failed for a new City Hall and public works facility. The lasting impact that will be felt by this community is that this Council has been very successful. He requested that the Council accept his resignation and proceed with naming an interim successor. ms term would have expired December 31, 1994. He thanked each person most sincerely for the help they have been to him in his career. He stated that he has been able to serve on the Park Commission, Planning Commission, City Council and now as Mayor. The reason he has been able to grow in these capacities is because of the encouragement he has received. Probst stated that he takes no pleasure in participating to accept Mayor Sather's resignation. He will be a big loss to the City. It is due to the Mayor's encouragement that he has become a Councilmember. He will be missed by the Council and it is unfortunate for Arden Hills that Mayor Sather is leaving. The Council concurred.
