ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – FEBRUARY 9, 2026 9 <br /> <br />Mayor Grant reiterated that a motion to reconsider would require a two-thirds vote to be adopted <br />under Roberts Rules of Order and must be made by a member who voted on the prevailing side. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson commented she was relying on the information from the City Attorney <br />regarding Roberts Rules of Order. <br /> <br />Councilmember Weber explained he had no one in mind for the EDA, but rather he was <br />concerned about the interview process being done transparently. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a <br />motion to reconsider the EDA appointments that were made on January 12, <br />2026. <br /> <br />City Attorney Land reported as a point of clarification the maker of the motion and the seconder <br />have to be on the prevailing side of the motion that was made on January 12. She advised this <br />meant Councilmember Rousseau could not second this motion because she was not in attendance <br />at the January 12, 2026 City Council meeting. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Weber moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a <br />motion to reconsider the EDA appointments that were made on January 12, <br />2026. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant explained this meant the motion would fail for lack of a second and this dispenses <br />with the item. <br /> <br />12. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />13. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau requested data on the six-year appointment the Mayor has made for <br />the EDA and that this information be shared with the entire City Council as well as the EDC <br />members. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau stated she would like the City Council to consider not charging late <br />fees for water and sewer for this quarter due to immigration enforcement concerns. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant recommended this be a work session topic at an upcoming meeting because this <br />action would require a formal motion from the City Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau asked that staff provide contact and resource information for <br />individuals who were having trouble paying their Xcel Energy bills this winter. She noted <br />payment plans were available and asked that Xcel’s contact information be added to the City’s <br />website. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau stated she was looking forward to discussing the City joining the Safe <br />and Stable Communities Coalition. <br />
