ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - MAY 21, 2007 4 Ms. Frick replied it is provided by the Master Plan and the Master Plan consultant. Ms. Frick referred the group to the chart and explained the two milestones. She commented that at the time it was developed, the original idea was that the Master Plan would be presented to the community at the end of June; however, the date has been moved to later in July.
