ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 25, 2025 35 Councilmember Holden said Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen was going to bring back what City Hall maintenance and repairs could be done by Staff. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said there is nothing in 2026 that would affect this. City Administrator Jagoe said Staff will go through the reserve study and see what we can program in for future. Mayor Grant said this is on the revenue side. Councilmember Rousseau asked about the building at the federal property, in regards to revenue. Are they putting in a huge addition? City Administrator Jagoe said that is this year. Councilmember Holden said that is not significant. We won't get the money from that anyway. City Administrator Jagoe said we will get the permit. Councilmember Holden said we have to hire someone outside to do that. City Administrator Jagoe confirmed. We have to use Rum River because of the state delegation. Councilmember Monson said the field house that we thought would be a big windfall is not any more. Mayor Grant never thought it was a windfall. Councilmember Monson thought there was discussion that it will be a great revenue source. Councilmember Holden wanted it added in and we decided not to. Mayor Grant said we didn't have anyone with state delegation. We haven't for years. Councilmember Monson said we thought we would get some money with it. Now that we don't have a state certified building inspector we have to pay a third party, so it's canceling out the benefit. City Administrator Jagoe said we get a smaller portion. It will be about 15% of the permit revenue. Councilmember Monson said there are no other buildings planned. City Administrator Jagoe said not for 2026. We saw North Heights, the field house, Outlot A all in the 2025 year. Councilmember Rousseau said Micro Control was about $80,000 in permits. City Administrator Jagoe confirmed. Pace could be an option for 2026.
