ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — DECEMBER 9, 2024 6 <br />JDA. Councilmember Monson and Councilmember Holden want Lake Johanna Fire <br />Department. Councilmember Rousseau wants NYFS. Councilmember Monson wants Ramsey <br />County League. Councilmember Rousseau and Mayor Grant want Twin Cities Gateway. <br />Councilmember Elect Weber wants the Cable Commission Nine North. Councilmember <br />Monson wants Beyond the Yellow Ribbon. <br />Councilmember Monson said she was less about being on Beyond the Yellow Ribbon and more <br />about ensuring that Council has a clear communication line with the Military. <br />Mayor Grant asked if Eileen Scott would still be the contact. <br />Councilmember Monson isn't sure what her role is. <br />Mayor Grant said we could invite her to a meeting. <br />Councilmember Holden said Eileen Scott supplied the last annual report to Council, not too long <br />ago, through the Admin Update. <br />Councilmember Rousseau said we could ask her to send another one for this year and ask her to <br />share the governance and bylaws with us. We could get a better understanding about how this <br />process works. <br />Mayor Grant said Mayor Pro Tem is also on the list. He asked how Council would like to move <br />forward. <br />Councilmember Rousseau said she would remove her name from Personnel Committee, to make <br />it easier. <br />Mayor Grant said in regard to Twin Cities Gateway, we have assigned John Connelly and we are <br />allowed two positions. He asked if we want to remove John Connelly. <br />Councilmember Rousseau said that's fine. She is interested because if she were the EDC <br />Liaison she would like to make sure there is more awareness between the two organizations. She <br />wants to see what we could do with the grant that they have. <br />Mayor Grant said there are very specific guidelines for what we can do with that money. <br />Councilmember Rousseau meant she wanted to see what can be done with the organization, in <br />general. <br />Councilmember Monson asked if there is a concern about putting two Councilmembers back in. <br />Mayor Grant couldn't remember what the bylaws are. <br />Interim City Administrator Jagoe will get the information and provide it to Council. She tried <br />to find the information while Council continued the discussion. <br />Councilmember Monson said she would be willing to discuss the Fire Department assignment, <br />in depth, outside of the meeting with Councilmember Holden. <br />
