ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JANUARY 8, 2024 26 <br />Councilmember Fabel noted Mr. Kelliher had received thanks from the City Council before <br />based on his contributions to the community. He stated Mr. Kelliher made accusations this <br />evening against Councilmember Rousseau that were offensive and inaccurate. He believed these <br />actions were reasons why he was not able to be a good Commission member. He explained he <br />wanted to affirm the respect he has for Councilmember Rousseau and commented on the <br />wonderful work she has done as the liaison with the PTRC and Planning Commission, working <br />positively with members from both genders. <br />Mayor Grant thanked Mark Kelliher for all of the great work he has done. He stated it was his <br />understanding Mr. Kelliher obtained $130,000 in funding to remove buckthorn from the City. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported the funding was part of the bonding <br />bill and the City would find out more about this in April. <br />Mayor Grant commented on the time Mark Kelliher and other residents have spent removing <br />buckthorn from City property. <br />Councilmember Holden explained based on Councilmember Fabel's comments, he must know <br />everything that happens and he has read every email. She stated she was uncertain as to the <br />communication between Councilmember Rousseau and Mr. Kelliher. She believed Mr. Kelliher <br />deserved a thank you based on his years of service and noted no one has had a problem with him <br />in years past. She hoped Mr. Kelliher would keep up the great work in removing buckthorn in the <br />community. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Fabel moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a <br />motion to Accept Resignation Of Parks, Trails And Recreation Committee <br />Member. The motion carried (5-0). <br />H. Motion To Accept Resignation Of Planning Commissioner <br />Councilmember Holden read Planning Commission Chair Paul Vijums' letter of resignation in <br />full for the record. <br />Mayor Grant requested Councilmember Holden provide staff with a copy of this letter. <br />Councilmember Rousseau thanked Paul Vijums for his service. She noted there were a couple of <br />challenging meetings and the last one ended up being a request from some of the Commissioners <br />that a new facilitator should come in. She indicated Vice Chair Wicklund would have done a great <br />job, but he serves as the JDA Chair and noted Commissioner Weber would be willing to help <br />going forward. <br />Councilmember Monson thanked Paul Vijums for his service. She stated she was disappointed <br />in his resignation noting he was requested to step aside as Chair to allow for somebody else, but <br />she understood he had other opportunities. <br />Councilmember Holden indicated Paul Vijums has been the Chair for several years and with one <br />complaint he was now replaced. She explained the entire Planning Commission recommended he <br />serve as the Chair for three more years in November and now he has resigned. She believed Mr. <br />Vijums has always been very attentive to the Planning Cases. She noted the trouble did not arise <br />
