ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—OCTOBER 14, 2024 7 <br /> Councilmember Rousseau said she would be willing to do the $435,000, as well. <br /> Mayor Grant asked Mike Wilhelmi to adjust the information based on the $435,000. He asked <br /> for schedule timing. He thought they need to make this decision by the next council meeting. <br /> Interim City Administrator Jagoe confirmed. She said Finance Director Yang was also <br /> seeking confirmation that it should be a 15-year term. To allow for the 90-day review for the <br /> PUC, the debt service to be issued, and when the first payment is due. Council's schedule for <br /> approval of the ordinance and agreement would be at the next October meeting,to stay on track. <br /> Mayor Grant wanted clarification that there won't be a public hearing but there should be a <br /> chance for residents to give an opinion. <br /> Councilmember Monson said Council previously talked about messaging it that the preliminary <br /> tax levy didn't include this. So because it wasn't included in the preliminary tax, which would <br /> have added another$400,000 to the levy, we have to do a franchise fee. <br /> Mayor Grant agreed. He said Senior Communications Coordinator Cardona could put <br /> something on the website. There would be no official public hearing but residents could share <br /> their opinion during the council comments. <br /> Councilmember Monson thought she read it would be a New Business item on the agenda. <br /> Mayor Grant confirmed it would have to be a New Business to adopt something. <br /> Interim City Administrator Jagoe said if we did an official public hearing,we would separate <br /> that from the New Business item. So, there would be a memo with an action item for the public <br /> hearing, the council would open it for any comment and then we would go into the New Business <br /> item. The hearing is not required so we can just add it as a New Business item. The City is <br /> required to put notice of any ordinance, whether it's zoning or city code, 10 days in advance. So it <br /> would go out as a News Flash on the website. That's a requirement regardless if there is a public <br /> hearing or not. <br /> Councilmember Holden said we are no longer considering a public hearing because we can't <br /> change the tax levy at this time. Prior discussion was that this would be an informative thing <br /> where we could take public comment. We can't tell residents that we are considering this. The <br /> message needs to be what we did, how we came to the conclusion and why we are doing it. She <br /> thinks if a resident is against it and speaks their opposition it's unfair to say we already made up <br /> our minds. This needs to be explaining what we did, how we did it and why we did it. We need to <br /> let residents know we're open to hearing their comments, but this is what we had to do. <br /> Mayor Grant asked for clarification if Councilmember Holden is saying it needs to be a public <br /> hearing with a staff presentation in front of the public hearing. <br />
