ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 10, 2025 12 <br /> <br />raised his hand as the only volunteer and he was acknowledged at the time. He did not believe it <br />was fair to suggest otherwise and he would appreciate it if Councilmember Holden would <br />acknowledge this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden addressed the committee assignments explaining when she suggested <br />Councilmember Kurt Weber should not be on the Planning Commission, she heard from the slate. <br />He had stated he wanted to be on the Planning Commission and he did not believe there was a <br />problem. She indicated she heard from Councilmember Rousseau and Councilmember Monson <br />who both said there was not a problem. She understood that with a 3-2 vote already in place it <br />would be hard for her to raise her hand. She suggested Councilmember Weber clarify the slate’s <br />majority right now, which stands. She indicated she was surprised she was treated like a spouse or <br />a child when she was told she was being assigned to the Fire Board. She reported she was not <br />somebody’s spouse or child. She anticipated the City would not get much from the Fire Board <br />because she could not do that. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden reported she attended Coffee with a Cop with 15 other residents at <br />Caribou Coffee. She hoped that a hot dog event could be held at Arden Manor this summer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden requested staff provide the City Council with information on how much <br />water the City was paying for and receiving from Roseville, while also providing information on <br />what the billing gap was. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden recommended the Chamber videos that were on Nine North be placed <br />on the City’s website. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden requested the Personal Committee address the City Attorney issues. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson asked what the City Attorney issues were. <br /> <br />City Administrator Jagoe explained there were questions regarding the City Attorney invoicing <br />staff for time for research on staff questions. She reported the suggestion was made that maybe <br />this could be an item for the Personnel Committee to look at. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson welcomed City Administrator Jagoe to her new position. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson reported Arden Hills resident Audrey Partridge was recently appointed <br />by the governor as the Public Utilities Commissioner. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson stated the Minnesota Ice Swim would be held at the Lake Johanna <br />Beach on Saturday, February 22. She asked that staff put this event on the City’s website. <br /> <br />City Administrator Jagoe asked if the Council supported putting this event on the City’s <br />website. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden suggested this event be placed on the City’s Facebook page versus the <br />website. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson asked that staff speak with the fire department and that they be invited <br />to provide the City Council with a presentation at a future Council meeting.
