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