She noted the Rotary Club was interested in piloting a program with the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson recommended this matter be handed off to staff in order to move the <br />program forward. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant suggested notice be placed in the Arden Hills Notes, that certain parks were being <br />adopted by such and such an organization going forward, in order to get the word out on the <br />adopt-a-park program. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden agreed stating this would assist with promoting the City’s businesses <br />and local organizations involvement in the City’s parks. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to bring this item back to a future Council meeting for further discussion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau thanked Councilmember Holden for passing along to Council the <br />article regarding the Vancouver all electric community. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson commented on how the Vancouver power grid differed from the power <br />grid in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area.
