ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 15, 2024 7 <br />Parks MOU. She thinks the reaffirmation should be pretty quick because everything is pretty well <br />ironed out. <br />Mayor Grant asked if someone should sit down with Bob Lux and ask him where he is with this. <br />Councilmember Fabel said he is prepared to do that. <br />Councilmember Holden said Interim City Administrator Jagoe could do that. She still thinks <br />Council needs to look closer at the parks and rec stuff. <br />Mayor Grant said it behooves us to be prepared with what we want prior to sitting down with <br />Bob Lux. <br />Councilmember Rousseau would like to set up several weeks in a row where a work session is <br />scheduled. If the meetings are not needed they could be cancelled. She will make room for this in <br />her schedule. <br />Councilmember Fabel thinks many of the parks elements will continue to evolve. <br />Mayor Grant thinks we want to go in with what we want and put it on the table. <br />Councilmember Holden a lot of the things that get changed, may affect Public Works. It could <br />add another half position. She doesn't know if the amphitheater is still in there, she doesn't know <br />if a lot of the previous promises are in there and who's paying for it. <br />Stacie Kvilvang said if it was in the MOU, it's in there. Bob Lux is paying for that. That is part <br />of their special service district that will help pay for the maintenance. <br />Interim City Administrator Jagoe agrees the regular meeting cadence will help with <br />scheduling. She asked Kori Land for availability. She has some commitments in place on some <br />Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Kori Land is available every Thursday. She thinks it's <br />important that Kori Land and Stacie Kvilvang be involved in these work sessions. <br />Councilmember Monson would like to propose Thursdays, starting on October 24tn <br />Mayor Grant personally is not looking at every week. <br />Councilmember Monson said we don't have time to wait. <br />Councilmember Rousseau would like to schedule a work session every week and if it is not <br />needed, it can be cancelled. <br />Councilmember Holden can't do anything until after November 6tn <br />Mayor Grant suggested Thursday, November 7tn <br />Councilmember Rousseau said that's getting into November, with Thanksgiving and she would <br />rather start on October 24tn <br />
