. . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 10. 1997 12 Councilmember Keirn suggested the Council refrain from discussing this issue in detail until March, when a Federal Court is expected to make a decision regarding FDA oversight of tobacco. Mayor Probst stated his only concern is that Arden Hills remain consistent with neighboring communities in regard to the tobacco ordinance. This item was tabled until such time that the City Council can review the Chapter in more detail. The discussion ended with no formal motion introduced. E. Ramsey County GIS Users Group, Joint Powers Agreement Mr. Ringwald stated the City Council is requested to participate in the Ramsey County GIS Users Group by executing the attached joint powers agreement (Exhibit A). Mr. Ringwald reviewed the cost savings of entering into this agreement versus having Staff perform this function. He provided the cost of this project, which total approximately $1,600.00 Mr. Ringwald stated Staff recommends that the City Council elect to participate in the Ramsey County GIS Users Group and to that end authorize the Mayor and the City Administrator to execute the attached Joint Powers Agreement. MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve participation in the Ramsey County GIS Users Group and authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the proposed Joint Powers Agreement. Councilmember Malone inquired if this Agreement includes plat records only, or if utilities are included also. Mr. Ringwald stated it is property records only. Mayor Probst and Councilmember Malone stated this is a fiscally sound proposal. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). F. Committee Appointments Mayor Probst referred to the memo regarding the revised list of Committee appointments. It was suggested to table the Business Relations Committee appointments as the Mayor has not yet spoken with the Chair of this Committee. He requested the Business Relations Committee and Youth Committee appointments be tabled until he has had a chance to speak with the Chair of the Business Relations Committee. He suggested the additional appointment of two liaisons: Raymond McGraw to serve as liaison to the Chamber and Sushila Shaw as liaison to the Human Rights Commission. He suggested these liaisons give quarterly reports to the Council.
