ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 22, 2024 3 <br />stated for all of the residents that believe this is bundling incompetence, they are wrong. He <br />explained the reason she has not attended many of her meetings was because her schedule was <br />overwhelming. Clearly, if a Councilmember was not able to attend a meeting, then details will not <br />be available to them and projects will end up going awry. He reported at the June meeting, <br />Councilmember Rousseau pointed out that it was impossible for her to attend some meetings <br />because there were some meetings underway at the same time and that if there is a skinny agenda, <br />this was not worth her time. He stated with all of these scheduling conflicts, he was reminded of <br />some wisdom garnered from a fortune cookie, to do more than two things at once is to do nothing <br />at all. He believed this was an explanation as to why so many of Councilmember Rousseau's <br />endeavors end up on the skids, she has too much going on. He explained for those who believe <br />Councilmember Rousseau is to blame, he was of the opinion the Council should be blamed <br />because Councilmember Rousseau has been assigned to too many duties and tasks. He recalled <br />that the Mayor and Councilmember Holden were stripped of any duties whatsoever. Those duties <br />were then unfairly placed on the shoulders of Councilmember Rousseau, who is overwhelmed. He <br />was of the opinion the solution was simple, he called on Councilmember Fabel to reverse course <br />and make a motion to reassign Councilmember Rousseau's many duties to others so she can get <br />the relief she needs. He anticipated Councilmember Rousseau would benefit, as would the entire <br />City. <br />4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INQUIRIES <br />None. <br />5. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS <br />None. <br />6. STAFF COMMENTS <br />A. Transportation Update <br />Public Works Director Swearingen reported reclamation and milling continues on the 2024 <br />PMP Street and Utility Project. He anticipated paving would begin in the coming weeks. He <br />urged drivers traveling through the project area to use caution. <br />Councilmember Holden questioned how much Lindey's was paying towards the parking lot. <br />Public Works Director Swearingen explained he did not have the numbers in front of him. He <br />explained the City and County would be paying a portion and Lindey's would be paying for the <br />remainder. <br />B. Night to Unite Update and Proclamation <br />Assistant to the City Administrator/City Clerk Hanson stated Night to Unite would be held on <br />Tuesday, August 6. She noted to date there are 21 events registered with the City. She encouraged <br />residents planning to host an event to register their neighborhood party with the City. She <br />reported the City would be collecting school supplies as part of Night to Unite and items could be <br />brought to City Hall or Ramsey County. <br />
