ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – DECEMBER 9, 2024 18 Councilmember Holden thinks Legislative Priorities should be discussed in January. Councilmember Rousseau wondered if the December meeting was too early to discuss that. Interim City Administrator Jagoe said that might be a little early for Staff. Councilmember Holden thinks Staff should ask Council what they want. Mayor Grant said we need to have that discussion, whether Staff is ready or not. He thinks we should go forward with the force main. That packet is done, it hasn’t changed. The force main is still relevant. There may be some pricing changes. Councilmember Holden said her priority is the trail. Mayor Grant agreed. He said that one was ready for last year, too. The trail didn’t go away. There may be some pricing updates. He doesn’t think we need to swap that out. Those are the items Council asked for and we didn’t get them. He doesn’t think we want to bring three. Councilmember Holden wants to look at the trail one again. She said some grants were received, it’s possible we could reduce the amount we are asking for to be considered favorably. Mayor Grant said there aren’t a lot of verbiage changes needed. Interim City Administrator Jagoe asked for clarification that Council would like to add Legislative Updates to the December 16th meeting. Mayor Grant confirmed, as well as the Union negotiation item. Councilmember Monson asked if it will be a Special Council Meeting or a Special Work Session. Interim City Administrator Jagoe said she is requesting a Special City Council Meeting because Council will have to vote on the Union Contract. 4. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES None. ADJOURN Mayor Grant adjourned the City Council Work Session at 6:55 p.m. __________________________ __________________________ Jennifer Estling David Grant Deputy Clerk Mayor
