EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: April 25, 2011 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> FROM: Jill Hutmacher, Community Development Director <br /> SUBJECT: TCAAP and Stadium Proposal <br /> Senate File 1164 was introduced on Monday, April 11, 2011. This bill establishes a site <br /> selection process, authorizes local and state funding for a multi-purpose stadium, sets parameters <br /> for stadium use and development, and defines local authority in the planning and development <br /> process. No hearings have been held on the bill. The legislative session, which is currently on <br /> Easter break,will resume on Tuesday, April 26. <br /> Ramsey County has negotiated a postponement of the public auction of the TCAAP site with the <br /> General Services Administration. The postponement allows Ramsey County time to determine <br /> whether a stadium development is feasible. If a stadium development on the TCAAP site were <br /> to move forward, it is likely that the property would be transferred through a negotiated sale. <br /> Ramsey County continues to meet with the Minnesota Vikings to discuss the stadium proposal. <br /> The County and the team are focusing on identifying needed improvements to the transportation <br /> infrastructure and the estimated cost of those improvements. <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> City Council meeting April25, 2011 <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
