ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—May 10, 2010 17 <br /> 9. Council Comments and Requests (continued) <br /> Finance Director Iverson stated it is not collecting taxes as undeveloped land until it is owned. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated the land would still be federal property so the policing of this <br /> property would be the responsibility of Ramsey County. <br /> Councilmember Grant asked if gambling permits needed to be renewed yearly. <br /> Finance Director Iverson stated the State does not require gambling permits to be renewed <br /> annually but the City can be more restrictive than the State in this matter. City Ordinance requires <br /> gambling permits to be renewed annually. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated he would be unavailable for the June 21 worksession and the June <br /> 28 meeting. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated she may have a problem with the May 24 meeting but would let <br /> the Council know. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated having three members of the Council present does make a quorum <br /> for meeting purposes. <br /> • Mayor Harpstead reminded the Council that although there does not need to be a majority <br /> present to make decisions the Council had an agreement in principle that all major decisions for <br /> the City should be tabled until the majority can be present and vote. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if the Council had received the invitation to the ground breaking <br /> for the Arden Hills Readiness Center (AHATS) on May 13. She stated she would not be able to <br /> attend this event. <br /> Mayor Harpstead stated he would be able to attend. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she would be able to attend as well. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated former Councilmember Lois Rem was still on record as the <br /> representative for the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. She suggested the City identify a <br /> new representative. There is a meeting on May 27 in Roseville for this group. She suggested this <br /> be discussed at a worksession. <br /> Mayor Harpstead welcomed the new City Administrator Patrick Klaers. <br /> City Administrator Klaers asked about the special meeting for the continuation of Item 7D on <br /> the agenda. He also pointed out there was a potential for two Council members to be absent when <br /> the Council discussed the letter of support for Sand Companies and the tower connected with this <br /> property. <br />
