SUBJECT: Parking restriction signage for Mounds View High School discussion
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Council should discuss the existing conditions of the parking restriction signage intended to
restrict student parking in the adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Background
Signage is in place that is specific to MVHS parking that apply to the adjacent neighborhood
streets. The signage reads, "SCHOOL DAYS 2 HR PARKING 7:OOAM TO 3:OOPM".
These are posted at Janet Ct., Fairview Ave., and Crystal Ave. as shown in Attachment A. There
is No Parking signage along the entire length of Lake Valentine Rd.
Page 1 of 2
Over the years, residents have submitted complaints of persistent student parking on City streets.
City staff coordinated with the Ramsey County Sheriff Office (RCSO) and with MVHS staff to
come up with the best solution which at the time was determined to be the current parking
restrictions. Other feedback, RCSO report that it is difficult to enforce due to the time limit and
would prefer No Parking at all during the school hours. Residents have said they still want the
ability to park on the street during the restricted hours.
The current layout has evolved to what it is today trying to balance simpler enforceability while
also not completely restricting parking on the streets for use by the residents.
Discussion
City staff believes this is more of an enforcement issue but is open to feedback for an alternative
solution. This discussion was added by City Council as a work session topic. Generally, for
changes to on -street parking restrictions, staff has experience with this discussion being brought
forward by a resident/neighborhood so that the City knows there is a consensus amongst the
residents. In this case, staff does not have information from the neighborhood on the desired
approach.
One example, the streets adjacent to Roseville High School have No Parking 9am to 2pm
September through May signage placed every 100-ft on both sides of the street throughout the
neighborhood. Roseville staff provided feedback that the residents that live in the neighborhood
are also not allowed to park on the street. They said this has been the case for a long time and
they have never heard of an issue from a resident about lack of parking during the day.
Options for on -street parking restrictions to discuss:
• Leave the current "no parking" signage as is
• Modify the "no parking" signage to a specific time period of expanded hours such as 9am
to 2pm (or other window of time if there is a broader concern about on -street parking
during school events or evening activities)
• Modify the "no parking" signage to 24/7 year round
• Expand the map area to post "no parking" on other streets
It should be noted that residents would be required to apply to the City for a temporary parking
permit since any parking restriction would apply to their use of the roadway for personal or guest
parking. Council may consider requesting a complainant take the initiative to coordinate a
petition in order to gain a sense of preferred approach or direct staff to conduct a survey of the
adjacent neighborhoods on any or all the above options. City Council is asked to discuss and
provide direction to staff on "no parking" signage in the areas adjacent to MVHS. Council
should also consider if any potential change to on -street parking restrictions needs to be
unanimously supported by the abutting property owners or by majority support.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 10, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Jessica Jagoe, City Administrator
FROM: Jen Estling, Deputy Clerk
SUBJECT: SCORE Incentive Funds Update
Budgeted Amount: Estimated Amount: Funding Source:
N/A $2,350 plus remaining Recycling Fund
SCORE Incentive Funds
Council Should Consider
Council should discuss and provide direction on use of remaining SCORE Incentive funds for initiatives
in 2026.
Background/Discussion
Following Recycling Day this spring, there are two remaining recycling initiatives that have traditionally
been offered by the City in recent years — a fall Cleanup Day event (held at Recycling Technologies to
recycle two items for free) and Christmas lights disposal.
Below illustrates the approximate costs for these two remaining initiatives as well as a potential net cost
to the City:
Fall Cleanup Day (approx.) $3,200
Christmas Lights disposal (approx.) $ 575
Total for these two events: $3,775
Available 2026 SCORE Funds $1,420
Remaining Cost to the City (approx.) $2,350
Due to a grant award from Ramsey County to purchase recycling carts this year, a budget adjustment
was completed to recognize such which resulted in a $20,000 net positive impact on the Recycling
Fund's ending fund balance. Considering the $20,000 in City dollars earmarked for recycling initiatives,
Staff recommends moving forward with the two recycling events as indicated above and that the City
cover the expected cost of approximately $2,350.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 27, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Jessica Jagoe, City Administrator
FROM: Gayle Bauman, Contracted Interim Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2027 — 2031 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A Various
Council Should Consider
Provide feedback to staff on Preliminary 2027 2031 CIP Plan.
Background
Annually, the City prepares a five (5) year Capital Improvement Plan for budgeting and forecasting.
The focus of the CIP is on the maintenance and protection of the City's existing assets,
redevelopment, and investment in new initiatives. The CIP is part of the budget process, but it is
not a budget; it is a plan, and one that changes often. The CIP does not commit the council to the
proposed projects, nor implement the assumptions made during the preparation; however, this is
the basis for the 2027 Budget as we continue with its preparation.
The City has a finite amount of resources, so prioritizing and then being able to finance projects is
crucial for ensuring the city's long-term sustainability and being responsible stewards of the city's
investments. Staff has been working on completing a comprehensive study of the City's current
and future needs for infrastructure projects to better estimate project costs and ensure more accurate
forecasting of available fund balances.
Discussion
A preliminary plan has been prepared and is attached which includes a summary of projects,
detailed project sheets, sources of funds, and estimated fund balances (since the operating budgets
have not yet been completed, these fund balances are estimated operating costs). Please note that
project timelines are subject to change and that the current timeline is City Staff s best estimate.
The 2026-2030 CIP was a $47.3 million plan, while the proposed 2027-2031 CIP is listed for $42.4
million in expenditures. This is a 10.3% decrease from the previous year's program or $4,875,476.
The largest increase is in Parks due to the addition of the Natural Resources Restoration and County
Road Trail projects, the increase in the cost of the Lake Johanna Blvd Trail project and changes in
cost assumptions. The decrease in Streets is because there were three PMP projects included in the
Page 1 of 4
2026-2030 CIP, whereas two PMP projects are included within the 2027-2031. Water is down due
to removing the TCAAP projects (these are funded with sources outside of the Water Fund).
PIR Fund
• The City has about $60 million of streets and trails (based on 29.42 miles of city streets).
Estimating the useful life of these assets at 40 years would require an annual investment of
approximately $1.5 million. The current funding sources, which consist of the tax levy,
Municipal State Aid, and special assessments account for about $1.5M on average per year
for 2027-2031, due to the tax levy increase included in the 2026 budget.
• A property tax levy of $430,000 is being proposed for 2027, which is unchanged from 2026.
Based on potential projects, this amount should be increased to ensure there is appropriate
funding to meet future project expenditures.
• Current projections include prepayments of special assessments, which is based on a 5-year
historical collection rate of 40%.
• The Old Highway 10 Trail project is programmed for 2027 and estimated to cost $4.635
million, with the City's cost estimated to be $1.32 million, and the remaining $3.32 million
expected to be funded through grants and Ramsey County. This project is Municipal State Aid
eligible. The City did not receive state bonding dollars for this project.
• The Lake Johanna Boulevard Trail is programmed to start Planning and Design in 2026 with
construction anticipated in 3 phases starting in 2029, 2030 and 2031, with an estimated cost of
$4.2 million. This project is Municipal State Aid eligible.
• The City has been able to self -finance the special assessment portion of the PMP street
projects thus far. However, with the cost of these projects increasing, the City should discuss
alternative and long-term financing methods for these projects. Some options to the City
could include:
o Bonding biennially for the special assessment portion of the PMP street projects
o Bonding annually for all projects within the PIR fund
o A dual approach that increases the property tax levy for smaller projects and utilizes
bond financing for the larger infrastructure projects
Bonding provides the near -term cash needed to fund projects and reduces the overall impact
to the PIR fund through leveled and structured debt service payments.
There is a definite need to stay on top of street improvement projects to ensure streets reach
their useful lives and don't require costly premature full reconstructions. Several areas of the
City are reaching those crucial ages where significant outlay is needed to ensure the long-term
vitality of the streets.
The 3 types of street improvement projects being considered based on condition are:
o Resurfacing is the milling of the top 1.5 to 2 inch surface layer of street pavement and
overlaying the street with a new bituminous surface layer.
o Full Depth Reclamation involves spot repair of existing curb, milling or reclaiming the
full depth of existing bituminous pavement, blending milled material with underlying
aggregate material and installing a new bituminous pavement section.
o Reconstruction involves removal and replacement of larger quantities of existing curb,
installing underlying subgrade correction materials, new aggregate base and a new
bituminous pavement section.
Projects were programmed to get the City on a schedule of completing a major street
reconstruction project every other year.

Public Safety Capital Equipment Fund
• The fund is currently being used to account for capital expenditures made by the Lake
Johanna Fire Department.
• Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) replacements are scheduled for 2027, with
engine truck replacements scheduled for 2027 and 2031.
• A property tax levy of $120,000 is being proposed for 2027 based on future capital needs.
Equipment & Building Replacement Fund
• The current plan includes recommendations from the comprehensive building reserve study
that was completed by Reserve Advisors in May 2025.
• The current $100,000 tax levy will not support the needs of this fund. A property tax levy of
$163,500 is being proposed for 2027, and the levy may need additional increases over the
next couple of years.
Utility Funds
• Public Works staff continues to evaluate the condition of City utilities throughout the
community. The majority of street projects currently include a minimum amount for isolated
utility repairs, but these amounts could increase as locations are identified where broader
water, sanitary sewer, and drainage replacement is needed.
• For the Sewer Fund, no I&I grant funds have been included in the plan as the amounts are
unpredictable.
• Rate increase assumptions are as follows:
■ Water — 2027 (3%), 2028-2029 (4%), 2030 (3%), 2031 (0%)
■ Sewer — 2027-2031 (0%)
■ Storm — 2027 (5%), 2028-2029 (2%), 2030-2031 (0%)
Council Direction
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding the following items:
2027 Projects
As we review the 2027 projects, does the Council have any questions, comments or concerns
about including them during budget preparation?
2027 Property Tax LM
The levy for the Equipment/Building Replacement Fund is proposed to increase from $100,000 to
$163,500 and the levy for the Public Safety Capital Fund in proposed to decrease from $312,000
to $120,000 in this plan. No levy is proposed for the EDA Fund. What changes, if any, should
staff assume?
Park Development Fund
Park projects are currently being programmed in the PIR Fund. There is approximately $200,000
in the Park Development Fund which can be transferred to the PIR Fund to assist with the funding
of park projects. Does the Council want to look at transferring these funds?
Page 3 of 4
2027 Rate Increases - Enterprise Funds
A rate study was completed in 2018. Annually, staff perform a review to ensure rates are at an
appropriate level in order to meet future anticipated expenditures. Rate increase assumptions are
proposed in 2027 and in future years in order to maintain a positive fund balance across the three
funds. What changes, if any, should staff assume?
Local Government Aid (LGA)
Arden Hills was certified $24,051 of LGA in 2026. Staff recommends that these funds are not
used for general operations (the state has unallotted LGA in the past) but instead direct them
toward capital projects. They are included in the PIR Fund in this plan, similar to last year.
CIP Franchise Fees Update
Included in this budget are franchise fee revenues of $435,000 annually that will be used to offset
debt service for the new fire station of approximately $270,000 annually. Excess franchise fees will
be approximately $165,000 annually. Where does Council want to direct this excess?
Budget Impact
The Council should review the estimated fund balances and funding sources with special attention
given to the PIR and Equipment/Building Replacement Funds.
When considering what tax levy increases are needed to support the capital funds, it should be
noted that preliminary results of department submissions and other assumptions have the General
Fund expenditures increasing by $1,090,641, which would equate to an overall 16.22% levy
increase (which includes the reduction in the capital levy noted above). Attachment C gives a
preliminary snapshot of the increases being considered for the General Fund.

This piece of equipment is used year round for loading trucks, stock pile management, and is a backup to our snow plow fleet. Also, during emergencies, it is used
for clearing trees to open roadways and access utilities. Due to its age, this loader is showing deterioration and some significant corrosion. Replacement parts are
hard to find and equipment is at end of life for wiring, hoses, and hydraulic seals. Downtime is increasing with constantly repairing fluid leaks from old lines and
broken fittings. Staff recommends replacement in 2026.
Fleet CEP Points Replacement Guidelines Rating is 63.5 (Needs immediate consideration)

Description
The water department, sewer department, and city hall standby power (EOC) utilizes a total of 4 standby generators ranging in model years (1999-2005). This
equipment is in need of a replacement schedule. Estimated auction return is $5,000 each.
justification
Due to the emergency needs, factors like outdated technology, parts availability, dependability,
and repair costs are taken into account with the replacement plan.
Additionally, stationary mount natural gas fueled generators are much more efficient
and do not suffer from the reliability issues seen with diesel fueled
units. PW
plans to replace generators on a priority basis.
Analysis of emergency operations is being completed in 2026 for strategic planning/ generator replacements.

justification
The trade in value of the Toro "Z" mowers is maximized if they are traded in with warranty still remaining. Due to the amount of time these pieces of equipment
are used during the summer months, they are traded in on a five-year cycle. Major repair costs are under factory warranty. Note: The new models will have a
5-year / 1,500 hour warranty.

justification
Parking lot pavement is deteriorating and reaching the end of service life. Public Works has placed large area patches to extend usability. Cost of maintenance is
increasing each year.
Drainage is poor at the ballfields and dog park, which leads to standing water, wet turf, muddy conditions, and reduced usability after rain events.

need to be
constructed after their reconstruction project of County Rd D.

Description
Pavement Management Program (PMP) improvements consisting of spot curb repair, resurfacing as mill & overlay or full depth reclamation with new bituminous
pavement, repairs to storm sewer inlets, dredging Fernwood, Hunters and Benton ponds and adding grit chambers, repairs to sanitary sewer manholes and
castings, CIPP lining of existing clay pipe, watermain replacement within Benton Way neighborhood that affects the streets, hydrant repairs, valve repairs and
protection improvements to the 16-inch trunk watermain.
Street segments include: Benton Way, Tiller Lane (Lexington to Cannon Ave), Cannon Ave. (Tiller Ln to Dunlap), Dunlap St. N. (Cannon Ave to Ingerson Rd),
Dellwood Ave., Carlton Dr., Fernwood St., Fernwood Ct., Pine Tree Dr., Harriet Ave, Walden PI., Hunters Ct., Lametti Ln., Lametti Ct., Bussard Ct., Stowe Ave.
(coordination with New Brighton), and Glenhill Rd. (coordination with Roseville).
justification
Pavement conditions are showing distress with condition ratings from 43 to 67. Pavement conditions will continue to decline. Proposed improvements are
necessary to continue safe and reliable street and utility services. These improvements will address the increasing costs for patching and maintaining highly
deteriorated street pavement within the City, extensive large area patching was performed in 2022 by Public Works to extend the drivability of the streets until this
project could occur. Watermain within Benton Way neighborhood consists of 58-year old cast iron pipe and has experienced several breaks in recent years, the
goal will be to replace the segments that could impact the new road surface. Pond dredging is overdue in several ponds within the project corridor, City staff has
received feedback from residents to perform maintenance. CIPP lining of the existing clay sanitary sewer pipe will prevent inflow and infiltration and root intrusion
as well as extending the life of the pipe for 50+ years.

Condition assessment of 3.600-feet of existing 12-inch Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) watermain along Lake Johanna Blvd. from County Rd E to Ridgewood Ct. This
watermain has experienced a few leaks/breaks in recent years.
Proposed replacement of watermain in 2030 if determined by condition assessment.
Justification
This watermain has experienced a few leaks/breaks in recent years. With the proposed trail improvements along this corridor, tentatively scheduled for
construction in 2030, it is important to evaluate the condition of the existing pipe to plan for replacment if needed. The existing watermain material is DIP was
installed in 1968 and the soil conditions are unknown but likely corrosive due to its proximity next to Lake Johanna.
The funding proposed in 2030 is considered a placeholder until the condition assessment determines a recommendation for replacement of the existing
watermain.

SUBJECT: City Council Code of Conduct/Norms of Behavior Discussion
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Council should review Resolution 2016-022 for City Council Norms of Behavior and provide
direction to Staff on next steps.
Background
At the April 141h Work Session, the City Council reviewed Resolution 2016-22 which is the City
Council Norms of Behavior. Council requested that staff verify if the League of MN Cities had a
template Code of Conduct policy that could be a starting point for this discussion. Additionally,
there was a reference to the Elected Officials Guide that LMC also produces. Staff were asked to
gather some of these resources together and share those with the Council for future discussion.
LMC states that generally policies will take one of two forms: either a values statement
expressing core principles for ethical conduct or a formal code of conduct. From the Minnesota
Mayors Handbook produced by the League of Minnesota Cities there is the following
suggestion:
Codes of conduct are written more like bylaws or regulations for an organization.
Generally, they prescribe explicit standards of behavior and provide for formal
complaints, hearings, and censure. For example, a code of conduct might state, "No
member may knowingly violate the Open Meeting Law."
Included as Attachment D is a sample Code of Conduct created by the League of Minnesota
Cities Ethics Advisory Panel from the Minnesota Mayors Handbook. Additionally, City staff is
including as Attachment E the Blaine City Council Code of Conduct.
Page 1 of 2
For Resolution 2016-22, the City Council should review to determine if this remains sufficient or
provide Staff with direction on updates for the Norms of Behavior.

RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING CITY COUNCIL NORMS OF BEHAVIOR
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL THAT THE NORMS OF
BEHAVIOR ARE HEREBY ESTABLISHED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Speak only for yourself, not for other Councilmembers — unless specifically tasked by your
colleagues to speak for the group.
2. Don't question motives. Assume others have positive intentions, even when you disagree.
3. Be respectful of one another, and the public process, at all times. Do not criticize Staff or others
in public.
4. Aim of consensus, but accept decisions of the majority once made.
5. Stay focused on the elected official role — policy, prioritization, and citizen representation.
6. Work primarily through the City Administrator or a Department Head, and through line staff with
prior arrangement. May work with the writer of a memo in a packet to request information for
clarification. Refrain from attending staff meetings, trainings, "rides -along" or group staff
functions unless specifically invited or cleared by the City Administrator.
7. Respect Staff and the fact that they work for the Council as a whole. Don't expect or ask them to
engage in the fray (secrets, gossip, triangulation), make your individual case (to take sides), or to
be your "insider" (informant).

SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
JANUARY 3, 2024
5:30 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Grant called to order the Special City
Council Work Session at 5:30 p.m.
Present: Mayor David Grant, Councilmembers Brenda Holden, Emily Rousseau,
Tena Monson and Tom Fabel
Absent: None
Also present: City Administrator Dave Perrault and League of Minnesota Cities Insurance
Trust (LMCIT) Collaboration Services Manager Aimee Gourlay
1. AGENDA ITEMS
A. Council Discussion with LMCIT Collaboration Services
Ms. Gourlay said the goal is to give them the opportunity to discuss what they might like to do or
change about the Norms of Behavior/Code of Conduct, and what the process would be for
moving forward. She reviewed the items they hope to achieve; productive and efficient Council
meetings, improved teamwork and agreement on process. She asked if anyone wanted to add
anything else.
Council also requested to talk about respect and decency.
Ms. Gourlay said she would add that under meeting management. She explained the agenda and
said she had brought a short Code of Conduct summary from the League of Minnesota Cities. She
said the League doesn't have a standard code as they are specific to each community. Some cities
have very detailed codes and Duluth has one paragraph. She expanded on the items they would be
discussing. The idea was to share and hear others ideas and incorporate as many considerations as
they could. The goal of a Code of Conduct is to increase their ability to have positive conflict that
helps get good outcomes, and decrease the likelihood of interpersonal negative conflicts that can
detract from making good decisions.
Ms. Gourlay explained the Norms of Behavior 2016 could be a starting point because it already
exists. Discussion was probably more important than the paper at this point.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - JANUARY 3, 2024 2
Council discussed issues in the past related to processes and how they have or have not come to
agreement on items.
Ms. Gourlay said it was about perceptions and how you're feeling about the discussion. What
they seem to agree on the need to balance the meeting efficiency with making sure everyone's
voice is heard and making sure the conversation is appropriate to the topic. They could talk about
how to move on when all opinions have been voiced. If they feel like they're hearing the same
thing and want to move on for efficiency sake, how does the Mayor know?
Council discussed how side comments or underhanded remarks affect decorum.
Ms. Gourlay said you're probably not listening well if there are side comments, and people will
shut down if they're hearing things as attacks. That is a part of meeting decorum. It can be
difficult if Councilmembers are speaking for long periods of time. So how do they balance
making sure everyone has a voice? Maybe everyone says their initial thoughts and has longer to
speak after that.
Ms. Gourlay thought there was already a divide about how they were feeling about respect. She
wondered if only some people were experiencing that or if it was a council -wide consideration.
Council discussed past issues or events that they have felt contributed to feelings of disrespect or
mistrust.
Ms. Gourlay thought getting to a point of understanding that could be another piece of the code.
And whatever code they come up with everyone has to be willing to go along with. She watched
a video of a meeting but she didn't see much of this dynamic.
Ms. Gourlay said there may be a need to address some of the past hurt in some way however,
something that can be helpful is to look at places they've been more successful and see how they
can take what is working and build on that.
Council discussed teamwork and their perspectives on information sharing.
Ms. Gourlay stated they're talking about Code of Conduct, but it really keeps coming back to
this one issue. She asked what they needed to move forward.
Council discussed better communication moving forward and past issues, also discussed looking
forward not at the past when making decisions.
Council discussed adding agenda items to formally report back to Council, such as,
Committee/Commission updates.
Ms. Gourlay said one thing they were talking about was committee reports and separating that
from Council Comments. They also talked about agreeing to disagree about the past and not
bring it up going forward. They talked about annual committee updates and sharing City goals.
Ms. Gourlay commented that one of the things she's observing is that it's hard to get to
consensus because what they're talking about keeps shifting.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - JANUARY 3, 2024 3
Ms. Gourlay reiterated they wanted efficient meetings, to stay on appropriate topics, everyone's
voice be heard, and to avoid personal comments. Some of the items they are considering would
address some of that list.
Ms. Gourlay said sometimes councils have struggles with how to get things on the agenda,
what's the complaint process, or the process for taking something off the consent agenda.
Oftentimes it has to do with how things get heard. She wondered what's the process for assigning
committees, is there an assumption that everyone gets a committee and similar types of things.
Council discussed adding committee/commission reports to future agendas, and about tying it into
committee/commission liaison responsibilities.
Ms. Gourlay recommended they have a work session item for discussion of committee updates
before it be brought for a vote at a regular meeting so there is no misunderstanding of what the
policy will be. She asked if this session was a useful conversation.
Council discussed not bring up past issues when making decisions affecting the present and
future.
Ms. Gourlay said they should move forward with discussing the issues they talked about at work
sessions and if they would like her to come back she could. She could also arrange for not full
group discussions.
Ms. Gourlay said they remind her of good people with knowledge coming together from
different places but the team can't come together.
Council thanked Ms. Gourlay for her time.
2. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS
City Administrator Perrault said he had emailed two questions to the Council. The 2024 PMP
was at 80% plan and was scheduled to be an item on the upcoming work session, did they prefer
to leave it on that meeting. Also, did they want to schedule a retreat, if so he will find a date.
Councilmember Rousseau would rather do a special work session on January 22 for the PMP,
and she would love to have a retreat in March or April.
Councilmember Monson was comfortable with having the PMP discussion on either date but
she could make January 22 work.
Mayor Grant explained there's what they go in at and then there's the bid. So, 80% was
probably close enough.
Councilmember Monson said then she was fine with it being on January 8 at 80%. She would
like to have city goals at a retreat but didn't think they needed the personality piece.
Mayor Grant felt a retreat was the wrong way to approach it. He thought it would be better for
the group to look at some strategic topics and discuss them. He didn't know if they needed
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION — JANUARY 3, 2024 4
someone else to help them do that. He thought a facilitator would make it more touchy-feely and
they would probably waste time with ice breaker type stuff.
Councilmember Fabel agreed.
Councilmember Monson said she found Ms. Gourlay to be valuable in these discussions.
Councilmember Rousseau asked if they were going to go through the list of work session topics
at the next work session and prioritize them.
Mayor Grant was thinking more strategic than chickens or food trucks; he was worried more
about bigger things like trails and the fire station.
City Administrator Perrault said he was planning to include the list of work session priorities
on the next work session so Council can let staff know what they want to bring forward in what
order.
Councilmember Rousseau explained that things they see on the list as a priority could be what
they base a strategic plan on.
Councilmember Holden asked if they were going to update the Council Tracker.
City Administrator Perrault said past practice was they only removed things at Council
direction.
Councilmember Rousseau asked how they were moving forward with a Code of Conduct for
committees.
Ms. Gourlay said she had examples from other cities to send to the Mayor and Councilmember
Rousseau.

regarding how PTRC are going to pay for the parks is a priority, above some of the other items on
the list. We need to decide what is most important.
Councilmember Rosseau asked if it could be two Fridays vs. a Friday and Saturday.
Councilmember Holden can't do 14 hours. Back to back days doesn't work. In the past, it was
nice to take a step back and think about what was discussed.
Councilmember Weber asked if it had to be consecutive days.
City Administrator Jagoe didn't ask that question. Her experience was the Friday/Saturday. She
will ask if there is an option to do a Friday and then a second Friday a month later.
Councilmember Weber said he could support that, with Hue Life. He is not interested in the
other proposal.
Councilmember Holden asked when it was decided it would be a Friday.
City Administrator Jagoe said she heard Council talk about a Friday.
Councilmember Monson said they did a similar session with the Fire Board. There were three
months between sessions. We can't spread it that far because we will want this complete in time
for budgeting. It was nice to have that space between sessions.
Mayor Grant said we should try to keep the hours down, maybe not two full days.
City Administrator Jagoe will follow up with the consultant to see about scheduling two
sessions with some time between. She sought clarification if Council wanted to agree on
availability and see if it works for the consultant, or should we schedule it when they can fit us in.
Councilmember Holden said everyone needs to be at the first one.
Councilmember Weber said we will probably have to have the consultant say when they are
available and then move on it when we find a date that works for everyone.
City Administrator Jagoe said she will follow up on dates. She wanted to confirm that Council
plus the Directors and City Clerk should attend. She asked if there was anyone else that should be
included in the invitation.
Discussion ensued regarding start time, possible dates and what items will be focused on.
City Administrator Jagoe will discuss availability with the consultant and send out dates to
Council.
C. Council Norms of Behavior
City Administrator Jagoe said on March loth, this item was brought to the Work Session along
with the Committee/Commission Code of Conduct Policy. The Council Norms of Behavior,
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — APRIL 14, 2025 15
Resolution 2016-22 is being brought back for Council review. She asked Council if there are any
updates or changes, they want to make.
Councilmember Monson thinks the Norms of Behavior is a good place to start but she feels that
reading it, it was written in response to the dynamics that were happening at that time. She
provided something previously that more broadly discussed honesty and integrity. She thought we
could check with LMC to see if they have a template. She thinks the items are very specific.
Councilmember Weber said he went through all the chapters of the Elected Officials Guides on
the LMC site. He thinks the information is very comprehensive guidance for elected officials and
ethics guidance. He provided the information to City Administrator Jagoe. He requested she
share that information with the rest of the Council.
City Administrator Jagoe said she will pass that along to the entire council.
Councilmember Rousseau asked if City Administrator Jagoe would share that along with
Councilmember Holden's notes, as well.
Councilmember Holden said in item #3, there is language regarding public testimony. She
believes the word `immoral' should be removed. We shouldn't use that word. We talk about being
respectful of one another but we also have to include resident interactions.
D. Twin Cities Gateway Funding Discussion
Mayor Grant said there is just under $20,000 plus some roll-over from the previous year. He is
grateful the Visitor's Bureau allowed that. These funds need to be used to advertise and promote
events that will bring people into Arden Hills to use hotels and patronize our businesses. He
believes the ice swim event would qualify. We've used it for Rib Fest and Bethel Homecoming.
He reminded that we have the 75th Anniversary of Arden Hills coming in 2026. He asked Council
if they had any preference for prioritizing the list.
Councilmember Rousseau said she is interested in using half of the amount for Rib Fest and the
other half for the ice swim. She would like John Connelly to talk with Al Stauffacher to help
shepherd the process of the Regional Grant for the ice swim event. She understands they will do
that for a newer event. Mr. Stauffacher seemed interested in the ice swim. She said it seems like
we typically discuss this funding source in April. She wondered if the 75th Anniversary should be
on the list for next year, with all of the 2026 funds going towards that event.
Mayor Grant said that is the Council's decision to make. He said the grant awards are based on a
formula. He said the numbers are holding and we can probably expect about the same amount
next year.
Councilmember Holden would like to use a little of the 2025 money to advertise a save the date
for the 75th Anniversary. She thinks we should send out one big flyer. A mailing is $2,000. She
thinks we should send out a mailing announcing that 2026 is the 75th Anniversary. Something that
advertises us as a City to all the residents and businesses. She isn't willing to give it to Bethel.
They never even thanked us.
Mayor Grant isn't aware if Staff has received any communication.
Attachment D
For example, "I serve the public interest when I recognize and support the
public's right to know the public's business." Values -based codes generally set
aspirational "do's," while codes of conduct stress "don'ts," as discussed below.
You can find a sample Statement of Values in Appendix F at the end of this
memo.
b. Codes of conduct
See Appendix G: Sample Code Codes of conduct are written more like bylaws or regulations for an
of Conduct.
organization. Generally, they prescribe explicit standards of behavior and
provide for formal complaints, hearings, and censure. For example, a code of
conduct might state, "No member may knowingly violate the Open Meeting
Law." You can find a sample Code of Conduct in Appendix G at the end of this
memo.
C. Enforceability
i. Values statements
Because of the aspirational and sometimes subjective nature of values -based
codes, formal enforcement might be difficult and likely counterproductive.
Compliance is better left to the individual's conscience.
ii. Codes of conduct
Minn. Stat. § 410.20. Charter cities may provide for recall of elected public officials in their charter.
However, recall of public officials is not possible in statutory cities. In addition,
there is no authority in state statute to provide for removal of a council
member by vote of the council or through application of a city -based ethics
policy. There is also no authority to levy fines for violations.
As a result, city codes of conduct for elected officials are generally enforced
through censure. Censure is a formal resolution of council stating that a
council member has violated the city's ethical rules and expressing disapproval
of their actions.
IV. Mayor -council relationship
Because mayors of statutory cities lack significant individual authority, the key
to a successful mayor -council relationship often lies in recognizing the mayor's
role (and its limits) and working from there to build productive partnerships
with fellow council members.
A. Meetings and the mayor -council relationship
Minnesota
Mayors Chapter 1 -36
Association
Appendix G: Sample Code of Conduct
Created by the League of Minnesota Cities Ethics Advisory Panel — October 2009; Revised December 2017
.01. Purpose.
The City Council of the City of determines that a code of conduct for its members, as well
as the members of the various boards and commissions of the City of , is essential for the
public affairs of the city. By eliminating conflicts of interest and providing standards for conduct
in city matters, the City Council hopes to promote the faith and confidence of the citizens of
in their government and to encourage its citizens to serve on its council and commissions.
.02. Standards of conduct.
Subd. 1. No member of the City Council or a city board or commission may knowingly:
a. Violate the Open Meeting Law.
b. Participate in a matter that affects the person's financial interests or those of a business
with which the person is associated, unless the effect on the person or business is no
greater than on other members of the same business classification, profession, or
occupation.
c. Use the person's public position to secure special privileges or exemptions for the person
or for others.
d. Use the person's public position to solicit personal gifts or favors.
e. Use the person's public position for personal gain.
£ Except as specifically permitted pursuant to Minn. Stat. 471.895, accept or receive any
gift of substance, whether in the form of money, services, loan, travel, entertainment,
hospitality, promise, or any other form, under circumstances in which it could be
reasonably expected to influence the person, the person's performance of official action,
or be intended as a reward for the person's official action.
g. Disclose to the public, or use for the person's or another person's personal gain,
information that was gained by reason of the person's public position if the information
was not public data or was discussed at a closed session of the City Council.
h. Disclose information that was received, discussed, or decided in conference with the
city's legal counsel that is protected by the attorney -client privilege unless a majority of
the City Council has authorized the disclosure.
i. Represent private interests before the City Council or any city committee, board,
commission, or agency. (optional)
Subd. 2. Except as prohibited by the provisions of Minn. Stat. § 471.87, there is no violation of

Minnesota
Mayors 74
Association
would violate these standards and refrains from participating in the discussion and vote on the
matter. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit a contract with a member of the City
Council under the circumstances described under Minn. Stat. § 471.88, if proper statutory
procedures are followed.
.03. Complaint, hearing.
Any person may file a written complaint with the city clerk alleging a violation of the standards
of conduct in section _02. The complaint must contain supporting facts for the allegation.
The City Council may hold a hearing after receiving the written complaint or upon the council's
own volition. A hearing must be held only if the City Council determines:
1) upon advice of the city attorney, designee, or other attorney appointed by the council, that
the factual allegations state a sufficient claim of a violation of these standards or rise to
the level of a legally recognized conflict of interest, and
2) that the complaint has been lodged in good faith and not for impermissible purposes such
as delay.
The City Council's determination must be made within 30 days of the filing of the allegation
with the city clerk. If the council determines that there is an adequate justification for holding a
hearing, the hearing must be held within 30 days of the City Council's determination.
At the hearing, the person accused must have the opportunity to be heard. If, after the hearing,
the council finds that a violation of a standard has occurred or does exist, the council may
censure the person, refer the matter for criminal prosecution, request an official not to participate
in a decision, or remove an appointed member of an advisory board or commission from office.

INTRODUCTORY PLEDGE
Blaine residents and businesses deserve a fair, ethical and accountable local government that earns the public's full
confidence for integrity. Recognizing these goals, the code of conduct is established for all elected officials of the City
of Blaine. As a member of the Blaine City Council, we agree to uphold the introductory pledge for elected officials
adopted by the city council and conduct myself by the following model of behavior. We will:
• Comply with the law, including
o Staying within the city council's authority
o Following the open meeting, gift, and conflict of interest laws
• Respect city council roles and responsibilities when working with staff, boards and commissions
• Be consistent in policy and respect process
• Fulfill the council's fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of the city, and all of its residents, both
financially and legally by:
o keeping the common good as the highest purpose to focus on achieving constructive solutions for the public
benefit
o not disclosing private or confidential information of the city or using that information to advance personal
interests. The mayor and councilmembers must maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information
concerning property, personnel, or legal affairs of the city. They must neither disclose confidential
information without proper legal authorization, nor use such information to advance their personal, financial
or other private interests. Such disclosure is a violation of the Rules of Order and Procedure and the Council
Code of Conduct.
o protecting city interests and liability by following advice of legal counsel
COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT
The code of conduct expresses standards of ethical conduct expected for members of the Blaine City Council.
Members themselves have the primary responsibility to assure the public that ethical standards are understood and
met, and that the public can continue to have full confidence in the integrity of government. We will hold ourselves
and each other accountable and when there is a suspected violation of the law, we will discuss with the city manager.
COMPLY WITH THE LAW
Members shall comply with the applicable federal laws, state laws, and city ordinances in the performance of their
public duties.
Authority
The city's legislative powers are granted to the council as a whole, and not to individual members. The council as a
whole is a policy -making board and as such, it is not the duty of the council to administer the day-to-day operations
of the city. Many items will come before the council as required by city ordinance, but many issues are more
discretionary in nature. It is important that the council and staff work together to differentiate between
administrative duties that are relevant to staff, and those decisions that are of a policy -making nature and should
come before the council. All councilmembers, including those serving as presiding officer, have equal votes. No
councilmember has more power than any other councilmember, and all should be treated with equal respect.
Members are elected officials serving on the city council and councilmembers shall not attempt to act as, or carry
out the responsibilities of, city staff or the city manager beyond what is outlined in the city charter and code.
Councilmembers shall not undermine the authority of the city manager and city staff as those individuals carry
out their duties as authorized by the city charter, code and the motions and resolutions adopted by majority of
the city council. Including but not limited to speaking on behalf of council or city staff, media engagement,
developers, property owners or residents without approval of a majority of council.
Mayoral Role
According to Blaine City Charter Chapter 2, Section 2.06 the mayor is a full member of the council in addition to
acting as presiding officer of meetings; representing the city ceremoniously; and executing official documents.
Open Meeting Law (OML)
Public deliberations and processes shall be conducted openly and in a transparent manner. The Minnesota Open
Meeting Law Chapter 13D requires that meetings of governmental bodies generally be open to the public in order
to:
• Prohibit actions being taken at a secret meeting where it is impossible for the interested public to become
fully informed about a public board's decisions or to detect improper influences
• Assure the public's right to be informed and observe public meetings
The Minnesota Supreme Court has noted that meetings of less than a quorum of a public body held serially to
avoid a public meeting or to fashion agreement on an issue of public business may violate the open meeting law.
Gift/Donations
Gifts from Interested Persons: Unless as outlined in exceptions, per MN Statute 471.895 councilmembers may not
receive gifts from any "interested person" in conjunction with their city council duties:
• A "gift" is defined as money, real or personal property, a service, loan, a forbearance or forgiveness of
debt, or a promise of future employment, that is given and received without the giver receiving something
of equal or greater value in return
• "Interested person" means a person or a representative of a person or association that has a direct
financial interest in a decision that a local official is authorized to make
o virtually every resident or person doing business in the city could have a direct financial interest in a
decision
Gifts to the city: councilmembers can recommend acceptance of general gifts through the city's donation policy. All
gifts to the city must be accepted by city council resolution.
Logo
Members shall not use the city's name or logo for the purpose of endorsing any political candidate or business.
Conflict of Interest
Conflict of interest is when any member who has a "financial interest" in, or who may receive a financial benefit as
a result of, any action or if there is potential for the appearance of conflict of interest. Questions about a potential
conflict of interest shall be discussed with the city manager.
Contractual Conflict of Interest: Per MN Statute 471.87, with exceptions in MN Statutes 1236.195 and 471.88, a
public officer who is authorized to take part in any manner in making any sale, lease, or contract in official capacity
shall not voluntarily have a personal financial interest in that sale, lease, or contract or personally benefit
financially therefrom.
Non -Contractual Conflict of Interest: Non -contractual matters may include such things as council decisions on
zoning, local improvements, and the issuance of licenses. Although not generally prohibited by state law, an
interested councilmember most likely should abstain from participating in council discussion and from voting on
these issues.
Members who have a potential conflict of interest shall:
• Disclose the conflict of interest to the group, and
• Abstain from the council discussion debate and vote
ROLES OF COUNCIL, STAFF AND COMMISSIONS
We are all part of a team committed to the residents of Blaine both today and in the future. To be effective we
must come to meetings with an open mind, think strategically about city issues and delegate details of
implementations to staff. We will strive to maintain a culture of trust, respect and candor as a council and when
working with staff and boards/commissions.

4
Councilmembers promise city staff they will:
• Respect staff as valued resources and members of our team
• Support the maintenance of a positive and constructive workplace environment for city employees where
individual members, staff and the public are free to express their ideas and work to their full potential
• Provide direction to the city manager as a body and not direct the work of individual staff
• Encourage staff to focus on the big picture in reports
• When possible, notify the city manager in advance of a council meeting of questions or requests to pull
agenda items from the consent agenda so the appropriate staff can compile the information needed
• Agree that information they ask of the city manager will be shared equally with all councilmembers
• Copy the city manager on all communications with staff, including questions on topics such as agenda items
WORKING WITH BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
As set forth in the Blaine City Charter Chapter 2, Section 2.02, Blaine's boards and commissions are established by
the council and serve as advisory to the council. Specific board and commission roles are:
• Investigate matters within the scope of the commission or as specifically directed by the council
• Advise the council by communicating the viewpoint or advice of the commission
• At the direction of council, hold hearings, receive evidence, conduct investigations, and, based on such
hearings, evidence and investigations, make decisions and recommendations to the council
Councilmembers promise boards and commissions they will:
• View boards and commissions as vitally important resources to support our decision -making
• Communicate effectively with boards and commissions to ensure they have the tools to do their work
• Give clear direction as a body and take adequate time to review the result of their deliberations
• Because of the value of the independent advice of boards, commissions, and task forces to the public
decision -making process, members of council shall refrain from using their position to influence the
deliberations or outcomes of board, commission, and task force proceedings
• The expectation is that councilmembers will not typically attend board, commission, committee, working
group or task force meetings. However, under special circumstances, if we attend a meeting:
o We will do so only as an observer and prior to attending will notify the appropriate staff liaison
o Strive for good communication by reporting out to other councilmembers
WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY
Residents: City staff is the first call for help for residents. We will refer residents who have concerns to the city
manager. If a resident has contacted the city manager but is still not satisfied, we will discuss with the city
manager. We acknowledge if a resident receives conflicting information from different councilmembers or staff
that is difficult for the resident and could increase liability for the city.
Businesses or other interests: The purpose of a city council meeting is to discuss information needed to make an
informed decision, review that information, and decide. It is not feasible to conduct all business in a public
meeting. Particularly around development, business interests might ask a member to meet outside of the city
council meeting to facilitate idea generation about proposals.
The city council's overarching principles for working the community are:
• Never grant any special consideration, treatment, or advantage
• Respect sensitivity of personal information
• Honor our rules regarding public testimony and clearly communicate the rules
• Make ourselves available to all parties on an equal basis and not advocate for a certain point of view
• Be cautious about how we participate in meetings or events and not prejudge the issue before the council has
had a chance to deliberate
CITY STAFF AND THE PUBLIC
Public decision -making must be fair and impartial and shall not be discriminatory on the basis of those protected
classes outlined in federal, state, and city laws and ordinances. City policy dictates that elected officials and
advisory board members conduct business in a manner which, both internally and in relation to each other and
their constituencies, is free from illegal discrimination based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex,
disability, age, marital status, socio-economic status, or sexual orientation.
Meetings requested by residents or businesses:
1. AFTER DECISION: If we are invited to a meeting about an issue the council has decided upon, we will explain
how the council arrived at the decision.
2. DURING DECISION: If we are invited to a meeting about an issue that will be before the council in the future,
we will uphold the above principles for working with the community, and:
a. We will not make our decision about an issue before the city council until the process allows.
b. We will be sensitive to the fact that we are not hearing everyone, and we will give equal consideration to
all feedback regardless of the way it is received.
3. DURING SPECIFIED ENGAGEMENT PROCESS: If we meet with a resident during a planned engagement
process, we will notify the resident that we are there to listen and encourage them to participate through the
established process to engage. We will ensure that staff received the feedback provided to us.
4. OTHER ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES: Engagement opportunities outside of formal council meetings are
often an effective and meaningful way to connect with residents in a less formal manner, such as meeting
with one or two residents about a topic, meeting with a few business owners in an area, or holding a listening
session for a small portion of a neighborhood. The goal of these smaller engagement opportunities is to
provide one or two councilmembers the opportunity to engage with constituents in a smaller group setting,
different than larger, staff -supported events such as an open house or broader neighborhood meeting, that
may be subject to the open meeting law. These opportunities should be considered as listening sessions for
feedback on a topic that the councilmember(s) then relay to the full council as part of formal consideration.
Should a councilmember like to host an engagement opportunity, they should:
• Inform the city manager to allow staff time if needed to notify about the opportunity, ensuring equal
access for all and ensuring that all regulatory and open meeting law requirements are met.
• Inform their fellow councilmembers that an engagement opportunity will be taking place.
Councilmembers should use these opportunities to:
• Listen to constituents' concerns and ideas.
• Encourage residents to attend council meetings and participate in the public decision -making process.
• Collaborate with the city manager to ensure that constituents' concerns and ideas are addressed through
staff and in accordance with established policies and procedures.
Councilmembers should avoid:
• Making promises or commitments on behalf of the council or city.
• Discussing confidential, private, or non-public sensitive information and redirect conversations to the
appropriate public forum(s).
• Directing staff or making specific requests outside of the established protocol (i.e., via the city manager).
• Councilmembers should keep a separation between their official duties and any campaign/re-election
N.
activities.
5. We will also notify the city manager in the event we wish to attend board/commission meetings as well as
legislative committee meetings/hearings so staff can notify the chair(s) and/or lobbyists in order to be best
prepared.
By following these guidelines, councilmembers can effectively engage with the public outside of formal
council meetings while maintaining transparency, upholding ethical responsibilities and encouraging active
participation in the local government decision -making process.
COUNCIL CONDUCT WITH CITY STAFF
Direction to Staff for Projects/Agenda Items - Direction is given to city staff to pursue items that generally impact
the public policy of the city by reaching consensus during a workshop or through a direct binding majority vote of
the council at a special or regular business meeting. This direction can occur either through a workshop item
agenda form with general consensus of the council or under other business on the regular business agenda
through a motion/second and majority vote. Once direction is given, the city manager will assign the work to a
staff member or advise the council that additional staffing will be needed to carry out the task. City staff,
including the direct employees of the council (the city manager and city attorney), are not obligated to pursue
items for only one councilmember. If a councilmember wishes to direct staff to work on a specific item, the
councilmember must receive consent of the council by reaching consensus during a workshop meeting, by a
majority vote of approval, or by submitting a workshop item agenda form that results in consensus of the council.
Requests for Information on Non -Agenda Items - City staff carry out the day-to-day business of operating the city.
The council should keep this in mind when requesting information or asking to perform these functions.
Generally, all interactions with staff members should flow through the city manager. If a councilmember is asking
for information from city staff that will require more than 30 minutes of staff time to collect or research a
problem and prepare a response, the request will need to be approved by the council to ensure that staff
resources are allocated in accordance with overall council priorities.
Interaction with Staff - It is not appropriate for councilmembers to admonish city staff when disagreeing with the
information brought forth for presentation to the governing body. Concerns should be taken up with the city
manager, and if an issue is identified that needs to be addressed by the whole council, it will be brought forth
accordingly. In any event, there shall be no personal attacks on city staff.
COUNCIL CONDUCT WITH THE PUBLIC
Public Meetings - Making the public feel welcome is an important part of the democratic process. Recognizing
that the actions of each council member impact the public perception of the whole council, councilmembers shall
strive to treat the public with respect.
Connecting Residents with Staff Resources - Councilmembers serve as the link between residents and their local
government. Through various channels such as mail, telephone, face-to-face interactions, and electronic means,
council facilitates a crucial two-way exchange of information.
On one hand, councilmembers are often the first point of contact for residents who wish to express concerns,
seek assistance or provide recommendations for policy; therefore, it is essential that councilmembers handle
these interactions with tact and professionalism to maintain positive relationships and foster citizen support for
the government. On the other hand, councilmembers also play a key role in disseminating information about city
programs and policies to the public. By educating residents about local government and the rationale behind city
policies, councilmembers can help build understanding and support for city initiatives.
In day-to-day community interactions, councilmembers need not act as intermediaries between city staff and
community members when advocating for a community issue brought directly to the councilmember.
Councilmembers should connect community members to the appropriate city resources when contacted about
various issues by reaching out to the city manager and appropriate department heads and requesting follow-up
as needed. The city manager and appropriate department heads shall address the issue or delegate it to the
appropriate staff for follow-up. Further follow-up with the councilmember by the city manager and appropriate
department heads for informational purposes may occur if necessary.
Councilmembers' Behavior and Conduct: Councilmembers who violates the code of conduct are subject to
admonition, reprimand, or censure. Any violations that potentially constitute criminal conduct shall be handled
by the criminal justice system.
Accountability/Consequences: A potential action for failing to comply with this code of conduct may include the
following:
1. Admonition. An admonition shall be verbal or written statement made by the mayor to the councilmember.
2. Reprimand. A reprimand shall be administered to the councilmember by letter. The letter shall be approved by
the city council and shall be signed by the mayor, or by the mayor pro tem if the mayor position is vacant or if the
matter involves the mayor.
3. Censure. A censure shall be administered pursuant to a formal resolution adopted by the council. A member
may receive a public admonishment for failure to conform with any provisions of these bylaws, state statute,
violation of confidentiality or attorney -client privilege, or other acts considered to merit reprimand by the city
council. Such censure may include other actions or punishments by city council in conformity of the law. The city
council, as a body, may by motion and a supermajority, commend or censure one of its own. If the act involves
two members of the council, a majority vote is required.
Factors that will be considered in determining the appropriate consequence include but are not limited to the
seriousness of the violation and/or the number of preceding violations.
Procedures for reporting:
1. A member of the city council may report a potential code of conduct violation by a member of the council by
bringing the matter to the attention of the mayor, city manager, or city attorney.
2. A city staff member may report a potential code of conduct violation by a member of the council by bringing
the matter to the attention of the city manager or human resources manager.
3. If the potential violation involves the mayor, it should be brought to the attention of the mayor pro tem, city
manager or city attorney.
4. If the mayor and/or mayor pro tem are unable to be involved in reviewing the code of conduct complaint for
any reason, the matter will be reviewed by the next most senior member of the council not involved in the
complaint.
5. Upon receipt of a complaint, the following diagram highlights the process that will be used:

Consequences
INTERNAL COUNCIL CONDUCT
The council exists to work in the interest of the public. The council should strive to work as a team in achieving
the best outcome for the community. The council should conduct business in a civil, efficient, and cooperative
manner with other members of the council and city staff. It is incumbent upon the members of council to listen
to one another and give full opportunity for all viewpoints to be heard. All disagreements should be handled in a
civil fashion.
Inappropriate behavior by a councilmember such as intentionally or with malice sharing false statements during a
council meeting may be addressed through a verbal correction by the mayor/mayor pro tem either during or
outside of the council meeting. Further incidents may be addressed by subsequent verbal corrections
accompanied by use of the gavel. Repeated incidents can give rise to the mayor/mayor pro tem not recognizing
the offending councilmember to speak. A councilmember can request that any of these actions against an
offending councilmember be taken if the mayor/mayor pro tem has not done so on their own.
Councilmembers must act in a respectful, courteous and professional manner while acting in their roles as
elected officials. Councilmembers are entitled to disagree regarding city direction and decisions relating to
regulations, policies and positions, but councilmembers may not use their titles as mayor/councilmember or any
city -sponsored means of communication (e.g.: city -issued email, social media posts, etc.) to disparage other
members, council decisions, city staff or any city -related issues. Personal attacks against staff, other
councilmembers, or members of the public by a councilmember without basis is a violation of the Rules of Order
and Procedure and the Council Code of Conduct.
Councilmembers acknowledge they are elected to be one member of a decision -making body and at times
members may disagree with the approved decisions of a majority of the council. While councilmembers may
respectfully disagree with decisions made by the majority, members should not publicly disparage or undermine
approved council decisions in any manner that may be detrimental to the city carrying out such decisions and
acting as directed by a majority of the council.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
Members shall represent positions approved by the council to the best of their ability when working with:
• Legislative bodies
• Federal or state agencies
• Other local governments, such as school boards, counties, or municipalities
If an individual councilmember's opinion differs from the city position, or a matter agreed upon by the full
council, members shall explicitly state they do not represent their city councilor the City of Blaine, nor will they
allow the inference that they do.
Members will represent the official policies or positions of the city as set forth in the city charter, city
ordinances, and the motions and resolutions adopted by a majority of the city council to the best of their
abilities. When presenting their individual opinions and positions that differ from the official policies or
positions of the city, members must explicitly state they are speaking in their personal capacity and do not
represent the position of the city or the council.

Agenda Setting Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish a method for agenda setting that allows for Council to
review and have control over its agendas and decide as a Council how it wants items for
consideration to be brought forward.
For regular worksession agendas:
• Prior to concluding each regularly scheduled worksession, the City Council shall review
its next regularly scheduled worksession agenda and direct Staff on any changes.
• Should an individual Councilmember want to raise an item for discussion at the next
meeting or in the future, they would do so during this review period. The item would
need at least one other Councilmember to agree to having the item considered for future
discussion, and then Council, by majority, would direct to have it placed on a future
agenda or not.
Staff will have flexibility to add or remove items to the worksession as needed to
maintain operational efficacy.
For regular City Council meeting agendas:
• Agendas will be largely Staff driven based on approvals needed for normal operations.
• Items coming from the City Council shall first be discussed at a worksession and can
direct Staff at said worksession to bring items forward for formal approval if needed.
• In rare instances, if a Councilmember brings forward an item that needs approval prior to
going to a worksession, they may request the City Administrator add the item to the
agenda. The City Administrator shall have the discretion to determine if the issue should
be added or not, but Councilmembers will make every effort to having the item first
discussed at a worksession.
Special meetings and emergency meetings:
• Special meetings and emergency meetings may still be called at the discretion of the
Mayor or any two Councilmembers, and the members calling the meeting shall set the
agenda.
