He began his education at Century College and <br />later transferred to Minneapolis Community and Technical College to study business. After <br />starting a family, he entered the workforce full-time. In spring 2024, he completed the Building <br />Inspections and Technology Certificate program at North Hennepin Community College, <br />strengthening his qualifications in the inspection field. <br /> <br />Chris has worked as an inspector since 2023, first serving as a housing inspector for the City <br />of New Hope. He later accepted a combined housing and building inspector position with the <br />City of Oakdale before joining the City of Arden Hills in June, where he found the building <br />inspector role he had been pursuing. <br />“I appreciate working in public service because it allows me to contribute directly to the community I grew up in and <br />continue to spend much of my life in,” Chris said. <br /> <br />Chris lives in Roseville with his wife, three daughters and two dogs. Outside of work, his family maintains a small-scale <br />organic garden and practices regenerative agriculture at home. <br />Chris Audet Building & Code Enforcement Inspector <br /> <br />For a complete listing of recent City Council actions, visit cityofardenhills.org and click on “View Agendas and Minutes.”
