ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – FEBRUARY 10, 2025 15 Interim City Administrator Jagoe said she will put together the information she gathered and share the information with Council before we do any advertising to recruit participants for the sub-committee. E. Agenda Planning Mayor Grant noted that the top of the list has short term rental ordinance and rental licensing program. He asked if those should be at the top. He said those are the ones that were voted to be at the top and is probably enough for staff to dig into. Interim City Administrator Jagoe isn’t sure if it can be ready in a month but Staff can start to put together the information. Those will also align with the work currently being done on the Zoning Ordinance review. Staff will survey other communities and can start to share some of that information. Mayor Grant thought the encroachment discussion could probably be ready to bring back in a month. He is looking for items that can be ready in a month. Councilmember Weber thinks the code of conduct is important. Councilmember Monson said some of that work has already been done. That may be a good March topic. She reminded that Bolton & Menk will be back in March with the parks proposal. Councilmember Rousseau said there is a Code of Conduct for City Council and one for the committees. The commissions have reviewed this it has just been sitting for about a year now. Councilmember Monson said they are two separate Codes of Conduct, but should be similar, in theory. Mayor Grant summarized that in March Staff will bring forward the Code of Conduct. Staff will do what they can on rental licensing and short-term rental ordinance. That is a big topic. Bolton & Menk will return with the park proposal. Councilmember Rousseau asked if Council will meet again in February. Mayor Grant said there will probably be a special meeting in February for the fire department. Interim City Administrator Jagoe said that will be a follow up item to have Council weigh in regarding the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). There are some proposed amendments that are more consistent with how the financing and the operations of the board and what the JPA will be doing for the construction. It isn’t changing any processes but refining it to be consistent with the bylaws and how the Headquarters Board is operating today. Now that the bids have been received, the Headquarters Board is going to be having a special meeting on February 19th. They are looking for City Councils to weigh in and approve the JPA amendment. We received those today and Staff didn’t have enough time to get that item assembled in time for tonight’s meeting. Councilmember Holden wasn’t sure what we need before the 19th.
