ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – DECEMBER 9, 2024 17 <br /> <br />F. Agenda Planning <br /> <br />Interim City Administrator Jagoe She asked if Council is open to use the December 16th date to <br />schedule a Special Regular City Council meeting. She has received information from the Union <br />so there could potentially be a Union Contract for approval. The JDA Chair appointment could be <br />on the agenda, as well. There are enough items to discuss, but at a minimum she wants the Union <br />Contract approved. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant said there could be any number of items on the agenda. If we don’t get to all the <br />topics, that is okay. He thinks we should respond to the Term Sheet red lines as a Council. He <br />wouldn’t want to wait until after any sale deal with the County. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden doesn’t think we should do the Term Sheet until we know the County <br />has an agreement with them. It doesn’t make sense to discuss the Term Sheet before we know <br />what their agreement is. The issue is the Term Sheet is a proposal on how we are moving forward <br />so it may be null and void, depending on that agreement. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson agreed. She thinks the Term Sheet discussion should take place after <br />we know if the County agrees to the PSA. She also thinks Stacie Kvilvang is essential to the <br />discussion and should be there for any discussion on the Term Sheet. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant said Stacie Kvilvang should take what Council decisions are, potentially run the <br />numbers, but have her sit through a meeting and listen to what our preferences are. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson said she was pretty active in the last meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant doesn’t think it’s to our advantage to have her in the meeting. We know what the <br />numbers are. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau asked if there will be a meeting on December 23rd. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant said there is not a meeting on December 23rd. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau asked when we would need the union information. <br /> <br />Interim City Administrator Jagoe said we have already provided them the response. They have <br />taken the vote. We should be ready to bring something forth on December 16th. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau and Councilmember Monson are okay with using December 16th for <br />Union Discussion. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant agreed. He said Council had December 16th as a place holder, so it makes sense to <br />use that meeting time for this item. He will work with Staff regarding what else may be on that <br />agenda. It could also be planned to be a short meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson would be fine with a short meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau would like to have Council use January and February to knock off <br />some of the longstanding topics.
