<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNClL WORKSESSION <br />APRIL 21, 2003 <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Ms. Carlson said if it were up to her, it would not. She said the library board had <br />worked hard to keep the costs low, therefore hoping the Ramsey County Board <br />would be supportive of this project. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski reported that she had received a fair number of calls from <br />people who wanted to see the Arden Hills branch stay open. <br /> <br />Ms. Carlson stated the budget and proposal was uncertain at this time, eXplaining <br />the library board was clearly at the mercy of the State budgetary situation and the <br />levy limits set forth, as well. <br /> <br />2.B Oven Meetinl! Law <br /> <br />Mr. Filla reviewed the State of Minnesota Open Meeting Law. He noted that if any <br />Councilmembers attempted to "get around" the open meeting law by meeting as a <br />quorum of 3 or more members, by physical meeting and/or e-mailing, and voice <br />mail, that they were at risk of violation. He suggested that the Supreme Court has <br />become rather narrow in its judgments. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rem asked if there was a violation if she attended an Arden Hills <br />public meeting and was a part of the audience. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Filla said the deciding factor for violation is whether or not the quorum is <br />receiving Arden Hills information at a meeting. He noted the fine is rather minimal <br />at $300, but legal fees could be in excess of $13,000. He said the bigger problem is <br />voice mail and e-mails between the Councilmembers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked if a "third-person" conversation, e.g. a staff member <br />relaying information to other Councilmembers, could be considered a violation of <br />the open meeting law. <br /> <br />Mr. Filla said his conservative answer was, "yes". He reminded the council that <br />the public perception may be an additional concern. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked if there was a risk of violation if more than three <br />members attended a political caucus or other public meeting. <br /> <br />The Council discussed amended agenda's and the deadlines for submitting agenda <br />items to staff. <br /> <br />. <br />
