EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: October 17, 2011 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> FROM: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> SUBJECT: Met Council Stadium Risk Analysis <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> In early August, Governor Dayton asked the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan <br /> Sports Facilities Commission to review the stadium proposal. The Metropolitan Council <br /> issues its Stadium Proposal Risk Analysis on Wednesday, October 12, 2011. A link to <br /> this Met Council report has been sent to the City Council. <br /> Following the release of this report, a number of press conferences have been held and a <br /> number of letters (or public statements) from organizations involved in the stadium <br /> proposal have been made public. The Met Council report has been very newsworthy in <br /> print, on television,and on the radio. Part of the discussions on the stadium includes talk <br /> about a possible Special Session of the State Legislature to consider a stadium bill. <br /> New comments and position statements regarding the stadium proposal seem to be a <br /> daily event as are rumors about the project moving to Minneapolis. On Monday evening <br /> staff plans to provide the Council with an update on the most current information <br /> available. <br /> City Council Meeting <br /> PAAdminlCounciEAgendas&Packet Infonnation12011\10-17-11 Page 1 of 1 <br />
