ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — MARCH 9, 2026 17 Discussion ensued that federal agents can stage on federal property and that ICE is staging in the streets and blocking them off, even if that's not allowed. Further discussion ensued that this would be sending a message. City Administrator Jagoe said we'd have to adopt an ordinance. It will have to come back. She is seeking direction if it should be brought back for further discussion or if it should come back to a regular meeting for adoption. Council agreed to bring it back for further defining discussion. City Administrator Jagoe asked about the final item which is forming a Human Rights Commission. Councilmember Holden said every time we try to start one, we only had one person volunteer. We may have better response in the current environment. Discussion ensued that Shoreview has a great model and Staff was directed to use their format. City Administrator Jagoe said she believes we may already have an ordinance that establishes a Human Rights Commission. She will confirm that. Council will need to determine what the membership and appointment language within the ordinance will be. She will provide information to Council via email. She is hearing that when everything is in place we can start advertising for recruitment. Councilmember Rousseau said we can reach out to residents who attended the special meeting and left their addresses. City Administrator Jagoe said there will need to be discussion regarding Council Liaison and Staff Liaison. E. Accessory Dwelling Unit Discussion Not Discussed. F.
