ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — APRIL 8, 2024 6 <br />Councilmember Holden questioned why the City was advertising for a Planning Commission <br />member again when two other members of the public had applied for the position along with <br />Steve Erler. <br />City Administrator Perrault explained he did not sit in on the recent interviews. However, he <br />understood the process was to advertise for the Commission positions, hold interviews and make <br />appointments. <br />Councilmember Holden stated she was surprised the City did not contact the other two <br />individuals that previously applied to see if they were interested in serving. <br />City Administrator Perrault indicated he could not speak to their credentials from the dais, but <br />noted the City was following the typical process. <br />Mayor Grant recalled in the past the City had gone back to applications that were on file and <br />staff spoke with those applicants. <br />City Administrator Perrault reported he did not believe the City had a formal written policy in <br />place for this process, but rather actions were based on past practice. <br />Councilmember Rousseau stated Mr. Erler applied for this position. <br />Councilmember Holden explained she understood this to be the case, but her question was why <br />the City was advertising for this position again when the City had two recent applicants on file. <br />She wanted to ensure the City was being inclusive of everyone that was applying for City <br />positions. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a <br />motion to Approve Resolution 2024-016 Appointing Steve Erler to the <br />Planning Commission as a Regular Member. The motion carried (5-0). <br />10. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />A.
