ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JANUARY 8, 2024 28 Councilmember Monson reported the comments stating Councilmember Rousseau was emotionally abusing people were out of line. She stated the allegations were not compatible with her personality and who she was. She explained Councilmember Rousseau was a fantastic person and she believed it was unfair for another Councilmember to attack her in this way. Councilmember Holden stated she would like to talk about offensive comments. She explained she was not allowed to serve on a committee or commission because she will not throw people off a committee because they don't toe the line. She indicated she has received more votes when there are five people running than Councilmember Monson or Councilmember Rousseau. She stated she has institutional knowledge, but the slate has determined she cannot serve on a committee. She described how she takes a leadership approach when serving, she talks with people in order to bring out the best in people. She understood that Mr. Vijums did not have to resign, but he was demoted to nothing and he chose not to stay. She indicated he was humiliated. The motion carried 3-2 (Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant opposed). I. Motion To Approve Resolution 2024-004 Designating City -Owned Property As South Point Park Councilmember Holden stated the Council had agreed to this park name. However, she stated she did not have enough information regarding the park signage and how it would be laid out. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained he would be bringing this item back to the PTRC to get their recommendation on the type of signage and signage location for this park. MOTION: Councilmember Fabel moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to Approve Resolution 2024-004 Designating City -Owned Property As South Point Park. The motion carried (5-0). J. Motion To Approve Invoice From Emergency Apparatus Maintenance, Inc. — Tanker Truck Repairs Councilmember Holden stated she spoke with Director Swearingen earlier regarding this matter. She explained the City was looking to spend $10,000 on repairs on a vehicle that would be replaced next year. She questioned why this matter was not being investigated by a fleet manager. She questioned what could be done to take care of City vehicles to ensure this type of costly repair was not needed in the future. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen indicated this vehicle was purchased in 2009 and noted materials are replaced over time with stainless steel to assist with preventing rust. He explained the City does not have a way to spray the underside of its vehicles at the Public Works facility. Councilmember Holden asked if the City would be trading this vehicle in after one year. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported this was the case. He commented further on how the fleet manager was evaluating the City's vehicle purchase for 2025.
