ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — NOVEMBER 25, 2024 14 E. Agenda Planning Mayor Grant said Staff has outlined some items. He asked if Council had concerns or changes for the list. Councilmember Rousseau said she would be interested in talking about what we are doing for committee and commission appointments. With a new Councilmember starting she would like to have feedback on what that person wants to work on with the other four members. Mayor Grant said there is a structure for that. Councilmember Rousseau asked what he proposes. Mayor Grant said he would propose there is nothing in City Code. Councilmember Rousseau would like to have a Special Meeting the week of January 6-9 to discuss it. Councilmember Fabel said that makes sense to him, as he doesn't think it makes sense for him to be a part of those discussions. Councilmember Holden asked why there would be a discussion since it's always 3-2 and Mayor Grant and her aren't on any committees or commissions. She wondered if everyone was going to work together now. Mayor Grant said that is a valid point but a new Councilmember is coming on board. He asked Interim City Administrator Jagoe to reach out to Councilmember Elect Weber and ask his thoughts. He is also welcome to join Council on December 9 when that discussion will happen. Councilmember Rousseau would like to have a conversation to talk more about what PTRC might need from a liaison this year. She would like to talk about the North Metro Mayor's Association and why we aren't a part of that. There are other things to discuss besides just appointing liaisons. Mayor Grant said committee and commission appointments is on the December 9 agenda. He asked if she wanted to take it off that agenda. Councilmember Rousseau said if we want to invite Councilmember Elect Weber that would be fine. Councilmember Fabel thinks the item should be removed because it doesn't make any sense for him to take part in that discussion. Councilmember Rousseau said we could use the second meeting in December. Mayor Grant said traditionally there is no second meeting in December. It hasn't been decided if that meeting will take place.
