<br />c . <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Arden Hills Council 4 April 21, 1994 4It <br /> <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks stated he had been approached with this <br />idea of promoting Arden Hills by Mr. McGraw. He noted his <br />reaction to Mr. McGraw's request was that any resident can <br />promote Arden Hills, and would not need to be appointed by <br />the Council. <br /> <br />Discussion followed and it was noted that this would be a <br />conflict of interest for Planning Commission members to <br />actively pursue new businesses to locate to Arden Hills. As <br />Planning Commission members they would not be able to make <br />any commitments on behalf of the City. <br /> <br />The Council suggested that perhaps, both Mr. McGraw and Ms. <br />Piotrowski could be subcommittee members to the Economic <br />Development Committee, as they are looking for people to <br />assist them in their pursuit of relocating new businesses to <br />Arden Hills. <br /> <br />It was explained to Ms. Piotrowski that the Economic <br />Development Committee had very different functions than the <br />Planning Commission within the community, and that <br />ultimately, the Planning commission would review any . <br />prospects being sought by the Economic Development <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked who would decide when John <br />Bergly's services would be needed. Ms. piotrowski explained <br />that they would need the site and road plans available to <br />them. Discussion followed and it was noted that Mr. <br />Fritsinger would be able to provide any plans to potential <br />prospects. Mayor Sather noted that the Administrator was <br />responsible for costs and would determine when the services <br />of John Bergly or any other costs items would be <br />appropriate. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski expressed her disappointment that <br />Mr. McGraw had not approached her with this idea, as he was <br />appointed the liaison to the Economic Development Committee. <br /> <br />Ms. piotrowski explained that the Economic Development <br />Comm~ttee is a new committee, and it was expressed to the <br />Planning Commission members that this committee would not be <br />ready to pursue new contacts for 18-24 months. She further <br />noted that she and Mr. McGraw had time now to pursue new <br />business interests, and that this process needs to be <br />addressed now, and not 18 months from now. <br /> <br />. <br />
