A result of that meeting, at <br /> which Gene Ranieri, Executive Director of the Association of Metropolitan <br /> Municipalities was the featured guest speaker, the Committee would like to recommend <br /> that the City Council aggressively pursue legislation regarding general state aid formulas <br /> as they relate to the City of Arden Hills.

Ms. Chaput responded that <br /> only the Task Force members had received the information, as it was of a preliminary <br /> nature. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski expressed her concerns regarding the City's existing <br /> committees and task forces in general, and a need to further expand the Communications <br /> Committee to pursue additional communication tools, exclusive of the City's newsletter. <br /> Acting Mayor Larson noted it might be beneficial for the City's Website Task Force to <br /> meet annually to review the web site content. <br /> Councilmember Grant commented and concurred with Councilmember Rem regarding <br /> recommendations of the Operations and Finance Committee and proposed lobbying <br />. <br />
