ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—FEBRUARY 10, 2025 12 Council would have to consider ADU's, reviewing uses and the combination of zones B-3 and B- 4. He recommended these matters be considered by the City Council at an upcoming worksession meeting. Councilmember Weber clarified the discussion that was held at the last City Council meeting regarding committee assignments, noting Councilmember Holden argued that she had volunteered for the Planning Commission and implied that he was being dishonest when he told her she did not. He explained he reviewed the work session video where committee assignments were discussed and at no time did Councilmember Holden volunteer for this position. He noted he raised his hand as the only volunteer and he was acknowledged at the time. He did not believe it was fair to suggest otherwise and he would appreciate it if Councilmember Holden would acknowledge this. Councilmember Holden addressed the committee assignments explaining when she suggested Councilmember Kurt Weber should not be on the Planning Commission, she heard from the slate. He had stated he wanted to be on the Planning Commission and he did not believe there was a problem. She indicated she heard from Councilmember Rousseau and Councilmember Monson who both said there was not a problem. She understood that with a 3-2 vote already in place it would be hard for her to raise her hand. She suggested Councilmember Weber clarify the slate's majority right now, which stands. She indicated she was surprised she was treated like a spouse or a child when she was told she was being assigned to the Fire Board. She reported she was not somebody's spouse or child. She anticipated the City would not get much from the Fire Board because she could not do that. Councilmember Holden reported she attended Coffee with a Cop with 15 other residents at Caribou Coffee. She hoped that a hot dog event could be held at Arden Manor this summer. Councilmember Holden requested staff provide the City Council with information on how much water the City was paying for and receiving from Roseville, while also providing information on what the billing gap was. Councilmember Holden recommended the Chamber videos that were on Nine North be placed on the City's website. Councilmember Holden requested the Personal Committee address the City Attorney issues. Councilmember Monson asked what the City Attorney issues were. City Administrator Jagoe explained there were questions regarding the City Attorney invoicing staff for time for research on staff questions. She reported the suggestion was made that maybe this could be an item for the Personnel Committee to look at. Councilmember Monson welcomed City Administrator Jagoe to her new position. Councilmember Monson reported Arden Hills resident Audrey Partridge was recently appointed by the governor as the Public Utilities Commissioner. Councilmember Monson stated the Minnesota Ice Swim would be held at the Lake Johanna Beach on Saturday, February 22. She asked that staff put this event on the City's website.
