~ ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION MINUTES JANUARY 22, 2002 4 fees in any room for day or night and asked we be very rigorous about pursuing damage costs from any group. Damage deposit fees should apply to all rooms and not just the Council Chambers. Probst argued we would not allow anyone on the 2nd floor conference because of the access to the staff offices. Aplikowski said we should be selective about who uses the 2nd floor conference room. Probst suggested we try using it and see what issues surface with the room. Item was moved to the Consent Calendar for formal action. e STAFF COMMENTS Lynch noted the Council's presence is requested for January 26th and February 1st staff retreats.

Probst noted he is fine with the letter written by the owner of the property adjacent to Perry Park with the exception of the lot split point.
