I' . w ~~ ~v I. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 12. 1996 9 Councilmember Keirn stated she believes the survey should reflect how the City communicates I with residents. I Councilmember Aplikowski advised residents have indicated to her their concern with the Assessment Policy in regard to timing of payments (either within 30 days or five years). Mr. I Post indicated this is not correct and there is a full range of payment options. He explained the 30-day prepayment option exists as an opportunity to not incur interest costs. Councilmember Aplikowski suggested this topic be placed on a future agenda for discussion.

I Councilmember Malone reviewed the conversation with the Fire Department with regard to pension funding. Ie Mayor Probst stated he met with staff to discuss committee structure and plans to present the first I draft to Council next Monday for review.
