ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—DECEMBER 8, 2025 13 Councilmember Rousseau explained in recent weeks there has been an increase in immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities. She understood two individuals were removed from a roofing company vehicle in the southern portion of Arden Hills. She stated the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office was not receiving information about ICE and their enforcement activity in the community. She reported the City knows about this incident and indicated the City was trying to be transparent regarding these activities. Councilmember Rousseau stated on Saturday, December 6 she attended the Town Hall at Mounds View where twelve parents from Annunciation were given the chance to speak with the public regarding their experiences. She encouraged residents to view this programming as Nine North had recorded the entire event. She supported more information being provided to the public regarding DANCO orders. Councilmember Rousseau stated that there is a new resource and supported more information being provided to the public about Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO). Although Arden Hills has not had an active shooter, Council does receive daily reports from RSCO and DANCO (Domestic Abuse No Contact Orders) do occur. There are also many people in our community who have been impacted by the loss of loved ones to suicide and this could be another tool for families. She thanked Angie Lewis-Dmello of NYFS for all of her efforts and for working with the parents and children who were involved in the school shooting. Councilmember Rousseau thanked Finance Director Yang for all of her efforts on the budget and tax levy. She thanked the City Council and Mayor for all of their efforts as well. Councilmember Weber commented on the ICE activity that occurred in the community at Valentine Hills Elementary School today. He asked that Ramsey County officers provide the City with information if and when it is received from ICE. Councilmember Weber explained the Planning Commission met last week and reviewed a request for a sound wall at Boston Scientific. He noted action on this item was tabled for further information. Councilmember Weber reported the Planning Commission would be holding a Special meeting this week on Wednesday, December 17 where a proposed cannabis warehousing use would be discussed. Councilmember Holden reported the 75 b Anniversary Committee would be meeting on Tuesday, December 9. She indicated this group was seeking sponsors at this time. Councilmember Holden explained she did not anticipate ICE would be sharing information with Ramsey County given how ICE was not sharing information with any other organization in the country.
