ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JANUARY 31, 2026 12 happen in Ramsey County. We will continue to share their messaging and their direction is to tell people to call 911. They have confirmed they will investigate alleged crimes in the community which includes traffic enforcement. Community conversations with the contract group, which includes other City Managers and City Administrators, regarding reporting are occurring. That is messaging that all of the cities in the contract group have requested. She thinks the reporting is being improved on and there should be information to share, providing the community with transparency regarding activity related to federal immigration. Those conversations are ongoing and she will keep pursuing those answers. She said in response to the use of City buildings or access to government buildings, the City has never assisted ICE in its civil immigration enforcement. There is no direction now, to do so. She has shared messaging with City Staff that if a federal agent comes into the building, employees are not to grant access into non-public spaces of the building. They would need to contact her and she will have the conversation with federal agents to ensure they have proper judicial orders to enter any non-public space. People spoke tonight about use of public spaces. We are reviewing ordinances with the City Attorney to make sure we have regulations in place, or if we need to look at adding language or ordinances that may get into those staging type of activities. Those activities may be regulated with a permit and that overall review of our ordinances is taking place. If it is determined we need a discussion , that may be a topic for a future Council discussion. She also heard a comment regarding public data. If federal agents were to request data that is public from the city, they would be entitled to receive that information. There is a request for public data process. Federal agents would need to follow that same process. If they requested any non-public data, they would need a warrant or judicial court order authorizing us to release that data. To her knowledge, there hasn't been a request of this type and she is confident if the City Clerk receives such a request, she would let the City Administrator know. She thanked everyone for speaking and she will look for direction from the council after this discussion. She welcomes the sharing of resources and the immigration resources page will continue to be updated as more information and resources become available. She said that Ramsey County has said they are not sharing FLOCK data with federal agents. Mayor Pro Tem Monson said her thought is to start with each Councilmember having up to 10 minutes to provide a statement of their own or a response to a comment/question heard tonight. She said after the personal statements, she will open it up for council discussion on next steps. Councilmember Rousseau thanked everyone for coming. She said we need the support of residents. She hopes there will be a work session in February where we can continue these discussions. She doesn't think this will all be sorted out by the next meeting on February 9. She wanted to acknowledge the concerns over safety and fear in the community. She sees it, too. There are residents who are afraid to leave their homes. People are sheltering in place. Our community is changing. There used to be neighborhoods with open doors and the kids could run back and forth. Those doors are being locked now. This is changing very traditional pieces of safety in our community. She doesn't like it. She understands there is a high risk to the children in our community. She is worried that the first targets in our community are the underserved communities. She has heard that ICE agents go to those underserved. She said they started there first but it is her feeling that they will go into other neighborhoods next. She is concerned that large businesses have used language to their employees that states not to come to Minnesota unless it is absolutely necessary. This is similar language used to warn about visiting war torn countries. We will see a lot happening with our economy over the next year between our silent work force being taken and those larger businesses maybe wanting space from doing business in our communities. She understands we are looking for legal accountability. We want documentation for things to help us now and in the future to get an understanding of what has
