. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: August 10, 1998 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrato@ SUBJECT: 1998 Council/Committee/Staff Barbeque Background The City has historically held a fall barbeque to honor the efforts of its volunteers and City staff. This barbeque has typically been held in the early fall at the Old City Hall. In preparing for this event for this year, the City Council needs to discuss and consider several items related to the event. For Whom is the Event Held? After last year's barbeque, discussion was held that the event was not really intended for staff. . Due to the fact that a number of staff do all the set up, cooking, and clean up, it really does not provide much or a "thank you" to those particular individuals. However, the barbeque has been very well received by the committee members and other members of staff. It has given them an opportunity to be involved informally with City Council and other staff, and receive recognition for their efforts. When Should it be Held? Typically, the barbeque is held after one of the Council's regularly scheduled Worksessions. If the Council were to continue this tradition, the most likely date is September 21, 1998, beginning at 6:00 or 6:30 p.m. The Council may wish to cancel the Worksession; however, Bethel College has been scheduled to attend this particular meeting to review its park development proposal. Where Should it be Held? The barbeque has normally been held at the Old City Hall. The City Council may wish to move the barbeque to one of the parks located in Arden Hills that has a shelter and picnic area. .
