ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — June 27, 2011 2. Public (continued) Councilmember Holden stated the letter that Mr. Larson is calling "the secret document" is a letter that was generated by Staff as part of its due diligence for this project proposal. Staff does due diligence for many proposals and projects in the City each year and not all the letters for these projects are put on the City's website. City Administrator Patrick Klaers stated that on February 28 the City Council passed a resolution in response to the action of the Ramsey County Board. This City resolution directed Staff to do its due diligence for the stadium proposal and this work included a letter, which outlined the City's concerns with the proposal. The letter was not deliberately withheld from the public and when it was pointed out that it was not on the website it was posted right away. The letter was not in support of the stadium but rather in support of legislation that continued the dialogue and discussion of the stadium. Mayor Grant stated the City is working to put together an information session for the public in mid -July. The issues with the stadium are changing quickly and Staff wants to be sure to include as much information as possible. There are a number of things that must happen before a stadium can happen in Arden Hills and, with the legislature being out of session, it is not likely these things will happen at this time. He clarified that the picture in the Arden Hills Notes article was only a concept drawing and not the actual proposal. At this time there is nothing definite regarding the location of a stadium on the property. Mayor Grant closed the Public Inquiries /Informational at 7:27 p.m. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A.
