ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MAY 18, 2009 8 <br /> Mayor Harpstead noted this could be an open meeting teleconference with Betty <br /> McCollum and questioned if it was the consensus of the Council to proceed in this <br /> direction. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she didn't see any other way of proceeding and <br /> that she was in favor of creating a public use on this site. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated he would like to see the City give public <br /> conveyance a try and avoid a public auction. <br /> Mayor Harpstead indicated he felt this was not a favorable use of staff or Council <br /> time and that he would move onto something different. <br /> Councilmember McClung explained he felt this was not a productive use of <br /> resources either and was not supportive. <br /> Mayor Harpstead questioned how the Council would like to proceed at this time. <br /> Councilmember Holmes proposed the Council discuss at next week's meeting <br /> whether or not the Council would support a public auction for the TCAAP site. <br /> Mayor Harpstead indicated he would be in support of having a resolution on the <br /> agenda. <br /> Councilmember McClung stated he would like a special meeting called this week <br /> to vote on this item as he would be out of town next week. He explained that he <br /> was not in favor of a public auction and would leave these comments with City <br /> staff prior to the meeting. <br /> Councilmember Grant noted that he would be in favor of adding this item to the <br /> agenda. <br /> Councilmember Holmes questioned if the resolution should include a time limit <br /> for the public auction. <br /> Mayor Harpstead suggested this be written in to the resolution and suggested the <br /> City Administrator begin drafting up a public conveyance work plan for the <br /> Council to review. <br />
