ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JULY 18, 2011 2 <br />Governor. Consequently, there isn't much to report at this time. He added that Staff doesn't <br />expect that the State budget will significantly impact the City. <br />B. Stadium Proposal <br />City Administrator Klaers stated Staff originally anticipated that the stadium proposal would be <br />presented during a special session this week but he has since learned that the stadium bill will <br />probably not be heard until a second special session in the fall. He added that there is no new <br />information from Ramsey County so there is nothing to review at this time. <br />City Administrator Klaers added that he had met with Ramsey County officials to discuss the <br />stadium open house scheduled for August 4. He explained that the County understands they have <br />the bulk of the information to present at the open house. The main focus of the August 4th meeting <br />is to provide information to the Arden Hills public. When he met with Ramsey County, they <br />discussed the layout of the room and participation from the Vikings. At this time, the plan is to <br />have various stations where specific information relating to the stadium and the TCAAP site is <br />available. The City would be responsible for addressing the history of the property and <br />environmental concerns while the County would discuss transportation and finance issues. <br />Councilmember Holden commented that she believes the focus of this open house should be on <br />Arden Hills residents. <br />Councilmember Holmes questioned what format residents will use to share their concerns. <br />Mayor Grant responded that those details are not yet finalized. He then requested that Staff <br />provide an update on the stadium proposal at each Council meeting. <br />Discussion ensued about how much of the Ryan proposal should be shared. There was a concern <br />that while the Ryan proposal is a part of the property history, it is no longer an option and it's <br />important for residents to understand this situation. <br />ADJOURN <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Tamble seconded a <br />motion to adjourn. The motion carried unanimously (4 -0). <br />Mayor Grant adjourned the Regular City Council Meeting at 7:30 p.m. <br />/./(7 <br />Patrick Klaers <br />City Administrator <br />David Grant <br />Mayor <br />
