<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 14,2000 <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski stated that she did not agree with extending the timeline. She noted <br />that the group was not being asked to redesign the project, just to review the project and make <br />recommendations. She felt that the longer the group takes, the less able the City Council will be <br />to move forward with a road improvement project next year. She had no issues with the <br />proposed makeup of the group. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated that he supported the Mayor's and City Administrator's <br />suggestions. However, he too was concerned about the group moving forward as quickly as <br />possible. He noted that the dates proposed by Mr. Lynch were not binding and if it takes longer <br />than the proposed three months then so be it. He felt that the purpose of the group was to <br />exchange information and he expected that, after this process, the City staff will make a <br />recommendation to Council. He hoped that the recommendations by staff would be agreeable to <br />the neighborhood group. If at the end of the process, staff s recommendation is not acceptable to <br />the neighborhood group, he would expect that the group would come forward with their own <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated that he did not have strong feelings about the membership ofthe <br />group and he felt that the representatives of the neighborhood should select who they want to <br />serve. He agreed that Ms. Cain should be allowed to serve on the group if the neighborhood <br />supports her. He noted that Ms. Cain's organization represents a significant portion of the <br />assessment and they have an interest in the project in the same way as any other business would. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked Mr. Brown if a six month timeline would allow enough time for <br />bids to go out this year. Mr. Brown stated that since the project would not begin until 2001 , a six <br />month timeline would be acceptable. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst suggested that the Council agree on a charge and deal with the makeup of the <br />group in order to take action. He indicated that the City Council does not have to command a <br />schedule, however, the group should be aware of a timeline and hopefully the group will honor <br />the schedule in order for the proj ect to move forward. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked what the intent of Council action would be. Mayor Probst stated <br />that all City committees are appointed by the Council. He felt that approving the charge was <br />important in order for the group to understand what the expectations ofthe Council are. <br />Additionally, the Council should identify names of members. If there is a desire to add people, <br />or members resign, this could be dealt with periodically. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that the role of the two Councilmembers appointed to the group, as well as <br />staff, should be as liaisons to pm1icipate in discussions but not as voting members. <br />Councilmember Rem asked if the representatives from the Planning Commission and Operations <br />and Finance Committee would be voting members of the group. Mayor Probst suggested that <br />these individuals serve as voting members. He felt that a Planning Commissioner could bring <br />perspective having dealt with a number of issues throughout the City. Additionally, the <br />Operations and Finance Committee has dealt with assessment issues many times and a <br />representative from this Committee could be helpful. <br /> <br />. <br />
