� <br />�i�EN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: February 27, 2012 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilm�ember� <br />I;�i <br />FROM: Patrick Klaers, City Administrator.+_ f �i���,'�a�- <br />1` c . <br />SUBJECT: Hill Capital Strategies, Inc., Update <br />Background/Discussion <br />At the last City Council Work Session, I received direction to contact Todd Hill regarding <br />options for revising the Consulting Contract that the City has with Hill Capital Strategies. As <br />you know, the purpose of the contract is to assist us in promoting Arden Hills as the best site for <br />the Stadium Proposal. Todd has set up numerous meetings with key Legislators that the City <br />could not have set up without his contacts. The recent e-mail from Todd highlights his <br />connection with key Legislators; whereby Senator Rosen has no interest in meeting with Arden <br />Hills representatives, but she still visited with Todd for a substantial amount of time discussing <br />the Stadium issue. While the Stadium Proposal is still alive, the City may also want to consider <br />having discussions with Legislators about funding far the acquisition and cleanup of the TCAAP <br />site and about the need to address regional transportation issues even if the Stadium Proposal <br />does not go to Arden Hills. This would be another good reason to keep Todd working on behalf <br />of the City. <br />Todd Hill and I have exchanged voice messages and I expect that we will make contact very <br />soon. I plan to have an update for the City Council for the Monday night work session; but I <br />have nothing specific to report at this time (Friday morning). <br />City Council MeetingP:\Admin\Council\Agendas & Packet Infonnation�2012\02-27-12 Reg Mtg\Packet Infonnation <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
