ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - AUGUST II,2O25 27 <br />Mayor Grant said there are a number of items on the Agenda Planning list. We have a number of <br />items that were added. Some require research by Staff. Some don't. <br />Discussion ensued regarding which items have already been addressed and can be removed from <br />the list. <br />Councilmember Rousseau said we didn't do a Buy Nothing day after the cleanup day. She <br />wonders if that should just move to spring of 2026. <br />Ma1,or Grant asked if anyone wants to talk about that. Cleanup day was the big one. We solved <br />that. <br />Councilmember Monson said if we are bringing another topic up she would want it to be a <br />narrow, short term one. She would like to save the meatier topics for when the Community <br />Development Director is on board. She thinks the Use of City Logo Policy is important. She <br />thinks Staff can come to Council with a policy they find from another City. Then we aren't <br />starting from zero. <br />City Administrator Jagoe said the August 25 Special Work Session is full. We'll take the full <br />time to get through the topic areas on the agenda. The budget discussion may carry over to <br />September 8. We could finish that discussion, have a short update on State of the City and the <br />City Logo discussion could be after that. <br />Mayor Grant said we could do the feeding of geese or cannabis discussion. He agrees there are <br />meaty topics on the list. Staff will need time to look at them. He agrees with trying to get the <br />smaller topics off the list. <br />Councilmember Rousseau asked what the next steps are for strategic planning. <br />City Administrator Jagoe just got an update from the facilitator late this afternoon. She hasn't <br />had a chance to circle back on that. She will send out an update for Council. <br />Mayor Grant said August has five Mondays. He asked if there was any appetite for a Special <br />Work Session on August 18. <br />Councilmember Holden said no. <br />Ma1,or Grant said there are five Mondays in September. We meet on September 8 and 22. <br />September 15 is a day we could use. <br />Councilmember Weber asked what we will go over. <br />Mayor Grant said anything Staff has ready. <br />Councilmember Rousseau asked if the January through March schedules will increase. Then we <br />can hit some of the smaller items. <br />Mayor Grant hopes we can discuss them and get them clff the list.
